Stop assigning gender to inantimate objects such as shoes and handbags. It drives me crazy when the hosts say"she" and "her" when talking about shoes!!!!!

I guess you have problems with languages that assign gender (masculine/feminine) to words (ex: French)?? Don't see this as a big problem.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

First ... I see this is your first post here. Welcome!

Second .... if that's the biggest complaint you have about any of the hosts, you overlook a LOT. lol

While ships are often referred to as "she" and hurricane names are both male and female, it seems a bit goofy.

I also think it's stupid that a part of the female anatomy is called "girls", but I guess some think it's funny.

I guess we all have something that drives us crazy, especially from some host more than others. Gender identification of inanimate objects isn't on my radar.

No problem for me either.

I'm with you. I don't like it. It's kind of silly. JMO

I can't imagine it's a woman who assigns these silly and often offensive nicknames to a woman's anatomy. There's two other names which are offensive, one I can't mention, both to our lower anatomy, one is given the name of a very young kitten.
