All machines are. I’d say it’s at least 90% completely arbitrary, what makes streets, tables, power, or cars feminine? What makes some countries feminine and some masculine? The only thing you could believably argue that it’s historic sexism is job titles, because most of them are masculine with derived feminine words.

What ? All machines are female?
Une machine à laver ok, but un lave linge, un lave vaisselle, un sèche linge, un robot de cuisine, un four…
Hell I can think of more “males” than “females” machines.
All “machine à […]” are female.
Yes because the word machine is female.
I don’t speak French but I may integrate this into my daily vocabulary.
