the moon is a he and moonlight is a she? what is this supposed to mean? the moon is gay and giving off feminine qualities? i would also have to say that that is one ugly "she" to be hiding in the dark!

Now what will happen to the Indian movies which compares moon to woman..Oh i guess they have to think again..Moon is Gay
The natural resources generally having great strength are considered He and those having the feminine qualites can be referred to as She..But i don't know about the gay resources

I would say all can be called as She. I have never heard of anyone referring to the natural resources as He thou.

well kleong, i think it is all depend on your language i guess. most of languages give genders to the natural resources like French, Spanish, Arabic...ect. but the English for example did not.

I refer to all these things as "it" since, being non-living things, gender is irrelevant. This just means I'm probably agreeing with most people who replied to this topic. I was brought up in no particular religion and my education is in biology. I tend to think of things in that perspective as a result. If I had a different upbringing, I could see myself referring to non-living things as male or female. Although "Mother Nature" is a very common term in the English language, I find I rarely use it.
