I’m curious as to what the initial purpose of gendering every noun would be, since (from what I understand) it doesn’t really change the meaning of the sentence, just the form of certain words. Also, since English evolved from many of the ~~Romance~~ European languages that do have gendered nouns, why do we not use them in English?

English is a pidgin language (germanic + celtic + romantic), and as with most pidgin languages the functionally useless / overly complicated parts of the parent languages get erased
