More on Gender in English grammer
Why Genders are required?
Sometimes we need to identify the person, animal or things directly rather than stating "wife of the lion" or "husband of grand mother". Genders are invented to simplify and nouns and pronouns and remove the confusion.
Example: I am a child. In this sentence we do not know the gender of the child. If the same sentence is now rewritten as "I am a boy" or "I am a girl", it is now more clear about the gender of the person.
