He's hetero and women are the object of his intimate love. It's natural for him to attach female gender to the focal points of his love. In other words, if you respect LGBT rights, you also have to respect hetero rights. Not making a political stance here. Just stating the obvious IMO.

A woman referring to a company as "he" or "him" is just as weird, in my opinion. This isn't a gender issue, it's an anthropomorphizing issue.

Well, I wish I could "just state the obvious" in such an articulate and eloquent manner. You have an excellent writing.

Sounds like the company is the object of his intimate love.

It is. And that kind of obsession can lead to disasters for human relationships. It's very complicated. I'm sure if there was a way to have sex with their startups they would.
