And before you ask, I'm Chilean, I lived 10 years in Ecuador and a large part of my family lives in Argentina, so my sample base is pretty extensive and diverse.Almost every noun has a gender in Spanish,  with about half the words been male and the other female. Every once in a while there is a discussion about the gender of some new words (La Presidente v/s La Presidenta), which soon get settled.</blockquote>
