Actually, the funniest example here is Persian-a language that has no grammatical gender whatsoever, to the point of having one word, "oo", for both "he" and "she". If I say "oo-raa dar ootooboos deedam", (I saw him/her on the bus), you have no way of knowing whether I saw Ali or Fatima unless I give names.
As you might have guessed from my choice of examples, Persian is a Middle Eastern language-specifically, the national language of Iran and one of the two national languages of Afghanistan. Somehow, I doubt either country is what Western feminists have in mind when they imagine a women's paradise!
