"this morning, chris & brooke were watching a documentary about a sunken ship being recovered from 1000 ft below. i heard brooke ask chris, “why do they always call boats ‘she’?” and his reply warmed my heart. he told her that boats and sometimes cars or other similar objects are called females because they’re beautiful & valuable to the men who own them and talk about them. he said that women are powerful and bring joy and they are cherished and beloved by their men and so as a way of complimenting their women, they call their machines girls too."
