If you’re going to be misogynist, maybe you could at least throw stones from a house that isn’t made of glass. Since, you know, women have for a long time been the ones responsible for cooking your food, washing your clothes, cleaning your house, and for the first few years of your life, wiping your ass.
Meanwhile, men have for a long time been the ones responsible for putting food on the table, paying the rent, building houses, cars, etc. and maintaining them, going to war to defend the country, mowing the lawn, and keeping society running.
Also, hilarious of you to accuse me of misogyny and then basically saying “women are responsible for doing traditionally female jobs”. LOL.
Perhaps in the past, but nowadays women are totally free to become soldiers, farmers, butchers, construction workers, electricians, bus drivers, or garbage collectors. Yet all of those jobs are still overwhelmingly done by men. And if men didn’t do them, there would be no houses, no roads, no electricity, and no food.
Also in German, there’s a neutral gender which applies to diminutive nouns ending in -chen, which means that men are male (Der Mann), women are female (Die Frau), boys are male (Der Junge) and girls are neutral (Das Mädchen). Which is fun to learn for the first time lol.
Washing machines have genders?
Yes, female in german, idc about french but i suspect it’s the same.
Is it stupid we’ve done this for all nouns? Yes.
Do I judge you subconsciously if you use it wrong? Also unfortunately yes.
In French, we have different synonyms for that :
Why do they have different gender for the same thing ? Because, insert your favorite expletive word, that’s why !
Romance languages be fun like that lol
Tabernac!
To mess with foreigner is my take (as I’m one).
Machines tend to be female, because the word machine itself is feminine
Der Mixer
Makes sense. Both require regular maintenance or they’ll start acting up.

LMAO, even.
Men banned women from doing all those things.

Men sexually harass women who do those things in the workplace, and they still have to cook your food and wipe your bum when they get home
Where do you think new washing machines come from? The sturgeon brings them? Don’t be ridiculous! They are far too heavy!
I thought they came from pet hair clumping up in another washing machine.

Yes, but only in Europe.
Latín América, too.
