Why do some languages use gendered nouns? It seems to just add more complexity for no benefit.

    Who said anything about gendered nouns? The question was about greater complexity making things easier.
    In my eyes, the German language achieves that.

            Why would I care about context? Comment had a question, I had an answer. Problem solved.
            Context is unimportant.
