You know, that's comforting to hear. The notion that there are some people out there that don't just accept an object referred to as "she" or "her".
It's refreshing, somehow.
perhaps in that, some others don't see it as "normal" to think of objects/things that way.

about cats..... when I was a child I used to think that all cats where female and all dogs male......... funny how the child's mind sees some things.
both cats and dogs, as you've discovered--
definately have both genders!

thanks for posting.
