    I voted normal, and wouldnt jump the gun on this being some form of sexism or anything. I have something similar with car faces (headlights). Where some look male and some look female. My brother and I as kids used to play a game where we both decided which family member a car looked like, and 90% of the times we'd have the same answers(!)

    If I had to pick I would've said the same for France and Germany. What would you pick for other countries like China, New Zealand, Canada, India, the US?

      Generally speaking.
      German cars: Male
      American cars: Male
      Japanese cars: Female
      French cars: Female

      New Zealand and Canada are female, but the US, China and India I'd say are pretty neutral.

        I think I get your pattern. I may have voted China male but I may be basing that on stereotypes and insufficient political knowledge.

        Can you trace your reasons for voting them so? Is it culture/values or history in past wars? Or maybe just something simple like equality, kindness of the people, or diplomacy?

          I was thinking mostly of their politics actually. It just seems very male, in a bad way.
