While I'm no etymologist, I would say that "he" would be neutral, and everything is at first assumed male. Examples being "All men are created equal", "all mankind", etc.

What I'd love to know is where genders of inanimate objects come from... Like why are all boats automatically a "she"?

Because captains or in general sailors spent more time with their ships than their wives? So it would seem that they're married to their ship which would then have to be a "she", right?

Actually, I am not aware of any movie. I was referring to this:

Ahaa. Well, the movie is exactly what that would imply. Teeth. Watch it. Repress memories. :D

Right? On the bright side, my possibility of ever committing rape went from 0% to -9001%, so there's that.

On the topic of rape and dentata, they sell removable beartraps for women for that exact reason. It's hilarious, but at the same time, it's horrifying.

That could be bad. Angry ex trying to seduce you, anyone?

Actually, the first thing that actually came to everyone's mind was that she forgot to take it out. Lulz ensue, and so does the surgical reattachment.

I know what you're talking about, but those were in no way being marketed towards western woman. There's no danger of an angry ex using one. They're specifically for women in places with extremely high rates of rape, like the Republic of Congo or South Africa.

Unfortunately, as gang rape is pretty prevalent there, I don't think they'll do as much good as the makers hoped.
