Regardless of what speakers of those languages do, we can do everything we can to remove gender bias from English. We don't have to keep doing something just because others are doing it.

Yup. I don't have a solution for gendered languages because it's not a problem I deal with much. I'm going to work on English, and I'll trust that other people will find the right solution for their cultures.

Are you working hard at not referring to ships using a feminine pronoun (i.e. "this is her maiden voyage")?

Nope. Gendering ships has always felt awkward to me.
