It is kind of strange to think of gender specific wording like that. Yeah you have languages that use prefix and suffix but to use entirely different word would sure be hard to catch on to if you are not a native speaker. You would almost need to segregate the class so you wouldn't have the confusion of trying to teach men and women the difference in the words. But how divided is Japanese anyway? Do they do this with just nouns or do they do it with verbs and such too?
