        We talk about "pronouns" but mean only the 3rd person singular. We live with ungendered 1st and 2nd person, and 3rd person plural. Precedent: we used to distinguish number in the 2nd person (thou/thee vs you/ye). We're the better without it, because it had become class-based.

        When we are French, we say "English is extremely inclusive". Because in French, all names (objects etc) have a predefined gender and professions are male and female. With masculine as neutral if you are more than one person.

        Example : Car in French is feminine. Rake in French is masculine. And to say that one is a doctor, for men one says: "Il est doctorant" and for a woman "Elle est doctorantE". And in the plural: "Ils sont doctorantS".

        But does it make any sense to say that cars are feminine and rakes are masculine? And the "ungendered" plural of "il/elle" is "ils"? Hmmm.

        Generally, it doesn't necessarily make sense but it is extremely useless (and sometimes, we play it in French to justify sexism). And no, "ils" is the plural of "il", but in French il(s)> elle(s). The non-sexist pronoun is "iel" or "ielle".

        To take an example of sexist use: Cuisine in French is feminine. And work is masculine. I let you make the link.

        Yes, but sometimes we will say it is "THE kitchen", so it's not for men, and it's "THE WORK" so it's not for women. Normally it is to annoy the woman (and it's a little sexist) but for some, in the past it was a justification.

        The goal is not to list all male / female words, but to use those who can confirm a sexist view of society.
