Why do so many men refer to their vehicle as "she"?
Obviously the vehicle does not have a vagina.
Matter of fact, being a machine, it has absolutely no sex gender.
The correct phrase when talking about one's vehicle would be, my car, my truck, my suv.
Why do guys insist on calling their car she? I never hear women call their vehicles she, or for that matter, he.
Bob.
Well, now you have. I name them, too. Vehicles have personalities (and that you don't know this is a little sad), and those personalities can be male or female. In our family, we have Ruby (my CRV), Tommy (my husband's Camry), and Sam (was my, now his, Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel pickup - couldn't quite tell the gender when I got Sam, thus the name which could be either - after over a decade, he's definitely male).

Seems I must spread some Reputation around a little before giving it to you again. So here's a tip of the hat to you.
OK, my daily driver is named Victoria, from Ellen Mirren's role in the movie RED. RED (2010) - IMDb
It's a 2003 BMW 530i in near perfect condition.
Although it has years on it, on the outside, she's still beautiful.
On the inside, there's a huge can of whoop-ass.
It has more finesse, grace and refinement than peers half the age.
BTW - I also have a female name for my GPS. I call her "Blondie". She can't find her way out of a hat.
Bob, every so often a person will be agender or androgynous. They really feel no identification as either man or woman. Perhaps you have an androgynous vehicle.
My vehicle is definitely a female. Pretty, classy, sleek, hardworking, faithful, and reliable. I can count on her.
This subject always shows who is educated and who isn't. Gender has been part of language forever, and machines of various sorts are feminine in most languages. Instead of letting it bother you, learn something about your own language (as well as others).
It's the current trans-gender craze that seems to be confusing people, or so it seems.

How do you know "sam" was definitely male?
Did you get male pleasure from it?
Saying he's definitely male is absolutely ridiculous.
For C sake, you are talking about a vehicle, not a human.

My first car was a '69 VW Fastback. Forest green. Her name was Lola - because whatever Lola wants, Lola gets.
I had another vehicle known as the Tetanusmobile. Gender neutral.
And yet another car (van, actually) known as the TestosteroneMobile. Manual transmission, three on the tree, no power steering, no power brakes, driving it more than 2 or 3 times a month meant I was taking the risk of a spontaneous sex change. Definitely a male creature.
Those are the only cars I've ever named but I did name them. So women DO sometimes name their cars, but I think we're way more flexible about assigning "gender identities" than are most men, LOL!
Don't get your knickers in a knot. Its just for fun. Nobody thinks their cars are actually alive. Why does it offend you so?
