Nor is, say, French, where every noun is masculine or feminine.

In the early '80s my girlfriend chaired some big committees (college with several thousand students being one of them) and she was always Chairman.
She said that a manageress was a woman who couldn't manage - this from a woman who could stop a high street when in cycling shorts (and also defeated Norman Tebbit on a point of principle).
Bugger that, Huston.
