Yes, female in german, idc about french but i suspect it’s the same.
Is it stupid we’ve done this for all nouns? Yes.
Do I judge you subconsciously if you use it wrong? Also unfortunately yes.

In French, we have different synonyms for that :
- “machine à laver”, which is female
- “lave-linge”, which is male
- “laveuse” (Québec only), which is female
Why do they have different gender for the same thing ? Because, insert your favorite expletive word, that’s why !

Makes sense. Both require regular maintenance or they’ll start acting up.

If you’re going to be misogynist, maybe you could at least throw stones from a house that isn’t made of glass. Since, you know, women have for a long time been the ones responsible for cooking your food, washing your clothes, cleaning your house, and for the first few years of your life, wiping your ass.
