Is it just me or is feminine usually the better grammatical gender?
Take German for example. First, the single most reliable and widely applicable rule for determining the gender of a noun is that nouns that end in -e are feminine. Sure, there are a couple of exceptions, but it is already so much more helpful than the other so-called rules with 50% of cases being exceptions. Meanwhile, male and neuter nouns have no such rules to rely on. Second, articles and adjective declensions for feminine nouns don't change in the accusative case, whereas those for masculine nouns do. Third, the annoying weak nouns only occur in masculine nouns, not feminine nouns. Fourth, most importantly, feminine nouns usually rhyme better. Take "eine große Mücke" and "meine neue Brille" and compare them to "ein großes Haus" and "mein kleiner Rucksack" (ewww), and it is clear which is the superior gender.
And then we look at Russian. First, in the accusative, most feminine nouns just conveniently change from -а to -у, so one doesn't need to care about the animacy nonsense in masculine nouns. Second, for the adjectival declensions under different cases, whereas masculine and neuter nouns need to do shit like -ого -ому -ым -ом, all feminine nouns need to do are -ой -ой -ой -ой. Sure, there is -ую for accusative, but that is really intuitive because it corresponds with the noun ending in -у. And third, again, feminine nouns rhyme better. For example, "моя красивая девочка" or "ту большую аудиторию" compared to "моё маленькое окно" or "этот высокий дом" or whatever.
I won't list examples of other languages and pretend I know them because I don't, but do you think this is a trend in other gendered languages too? Sorry for typing up this nonsense
