Things to do

Unbalanced gender setups
- 1 man + 999 women = 1000 women (IE)
- pregnant women addressed with male pronouns if baby is known to be a boy.
- Genders take different positions on an animacy hierarchy. (Many Languages of Teppala if babies are considered a separate gender)
- nom-acc for males, erg-abs for females (some conlangs; proposed for pre-PIE plural feminine)
- Male and female are both equal on animarcy hierarchy, abnd all people can possess grammatically inanimate objects, but many semantically inanimate objects (umbrella, purse, dishes) are assigned to either the masculine or feminine gender, with a great imbalance in who gets what. (Moonshine)
- Deities are always grammatically masculine, even if female in form (claimed for Tamil, apparently false)
- male gender associated with broken objects or unpleasant things. (Jmo)
- masculine has to be indicated with a suffix; unmarked form is usually feminine (Láadan)
- Feminine has to be indicated with a suffix; unmarked form is usually masculine unless the descriptor is syntactically associated with females , as with nursing, menial labor, etc (IE)
