They actually like male/female enforced gender. Maybe what they’ll do is add gender to English grammar!

  La primera pregunta es: Que es mas macho, pineapple o knife?

  Well, let's see
  My guess is that a pineapple is more macho than a knife

  Si! Correcto! Pineapple es mas macho que knife

  La segunda pregunta es: Que es mas macho, lightbulb o schoolbus?
  Uh, lightbulb?

  No! Lo siento, Schoolbus es mas macho que lightbulb

  Gracias. And we'll be back in un momento

I wonder how that'd go. Like in French "the book is on the table" is "le livre est sur la table" so I guess it'd become something like "he book is on she table"? We might need some new words. Or just steal the French ones "le book is on la table"? Vive la franglais!

Old English had gender, and the feminine definite article to match masculine the would be theo. (The whole concept of "the" was a late addition, mind you, and Middle English followed soon after and got rid of grammatical gender, apparently because an influx of Nordics had trouble with pronunciation.)
