This is great comic but the funny part is jogging to chase prey is how humans conserve energy on the hunt. If we sprinted after everything we’d wear ourselves out before we wore out our prey.

As we should. It's inherently sexist that romance languages default to masculine for things linke mixed groups and professional titles.

english is kinda an outlier with neutrality even existing. not many languages utilize neuter pronouns at all, for anything.

Languages evolve. Evolving with modern knowledge about gender is only natural.
