Always wondered about this...why are LVs referred to as she. I have heard it used in reference to a Speedy and a Peit Noe. Me, I always call them Baby.
I think most objects are referred to as 'she' like a ship or a car. The femisnist reasoning behind this being that one owns these things just as a man wants to 'own' a woman. (Sociology if the sexes 101 )
Wasn't THAT annoying =)
I am torn on what to call my backpack because it's pink 'she' but is a Murray 'he' hmmm. It's a he-she bag. I'll call it PAT
