@Noprep. I agree with you. When I am looking for my purse I never ask myself where could she be. My purse is an it. Just say the word breasts. It's okay. No girls are living in my bra.

Had a car that talked with a deep voice with notifications such as "A door is ajar".  So it was natural to call him "he".  His name was Bob. Ha.

@rockygems123 and @BlueFinch- My children name their cars. They are always "she's." I think one of them is "Subie."  Smiley Wink

@BlueFinch   I grew up with my dad calling all his cars she, and giving them female names.  

 

I don't mind it a bit.  Seems such a small thing to be concerned about.

I don't care if they call it he, she, it, that thing, whatchamacallit, thingamajig, or anything else.

 

It doesn't change anything in my life. I see no need to get in a dither about something so minor.

It may be minor to some but actually it is cringeworthy IMO.

I'm sorry it bothers some, but I've got bigger things in life to worry about.

Countries are given genders. Families are given genders, patriarchal, matriarchal. 

It seems to lose significance when calling shoes, handbags, etc. a gender. Maybe just something fashion made up....

@Noprep  Turn your TV to the news and you'll have no problem finding something more important to worry about.
