It’s kinda weird in general that most languages have gramatical markers for gender.
We don’t have a separate pronoun and separate word endings for e.g. young vs old, for poor vs rich, for educated vs unlearned and so on.
Many languages don’t even have a neutral form (like “they” in english), thus forcing you to mark the gender of the person you are talking about gramatically.
Like, for example, why would I care whether the baker making my bread is male or female? I care that they are a baker and know how to make good bread. Otherwise they don’t even have to be human for all I care.
