True! French for example is filled with what would be known as gender stereotyping : Le bureau (the office) La maison (the home) etc etc... The French are doubtless trying to do something about that, however! ;)

It's like those French have a different word for everything.

I studied French, still understand a fair amount (plus q’un peu), and I find it very pretty. I remember the first year the Montreal Expos were in the majors. they put an announcement on their scoreboard at Parc Jarry that mentioned “le bueau de billets au Parc Jarry.”

“Sounds like a nice place, doesn’t it?”, said one of the announcers. “It’s the ticket office at Jarry Park.”
