Just out of curiosity, which language are your examples from? I'm asking because my native language is Serbian and it also features "male" tables and "female" government.

Hebrew has the same. Spanish though has it reversed (I didn't mean it among languages I speak since I'm just beginning studying it).

German, too. He might accidentaly be onto something.

And it's the exact opposite in French and presumably all (most?) other Romance languages as well: female table, male government.
