 Replying to [comment:3 bastho]:
 > Abstract objects also have a gender (at least in Latin languages), so it
 would be useful for custom post types or custom taxonomies.
 > The problem of this point of view is: do all gendered languages use the
 same gender for words?

 No, they don't. For instance, the word "cat" is female in German (eine
 Katze), but male in French (un chat).

 Also, German has three genders instead of two. Abstract objects can be
 either male, female or neutral.
