Here in France, it is unanimously and/or
spontaneously accepted that all meteorites are considered female.
Then we are sure that no one will ever be offended....

Hello Listers,
I have been meaning to ask people what sex they
would consider their meteorites to be and if the
names of the meteorite would be the final factor
in determining sex? Or is this a silly question
for me to ask in the first place?
Why I ask this question is because alot of times
I hear people refer to a classic car as a
female, like "look at her she's a beauty". I
have even caught myself referring to some of the
meteorites I own as a male of female.
For instance, I would consider Almahata Sitta as
female because the way Almahata Sitta sounds has
this romantic feel to it when I say her name. Or
the Weston, I would definitely call it a male
meteorite because just the word sounds bold and strong when I say his name.
Which sex are your meteorites and what
determining factors could dictate which way this would go?
