I’ve never heard of any inanimate thing referred to in English as a “he” however

I thought of one. Some people used to call Teddy Kennedy "he".

Perhaps in the art world, renderings of males, might be referenced as “he”, such as when gazing at Michelangelo’s “David”, “he”, when commenting on the statue itself, wouldn’t be out of place.
