A student of French asks, "What gender is computer'?" The French teacher
was explaining to her class that in French, unlike English, nouns are
designated as either masculine or feminine:
"House" is feminine - "la maison".
"Pencil" is masculine - "le crayon".
A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups -
the male and the female - The French teacher then asked them (the students)
to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be masculine or
feminine.
Each group was asked to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the
feminine gender ("la computer"), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for
possible later review; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your salary on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine
("le computer") because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they
ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a
little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The women won.
