people can choose to be offended by anything they like ...
consulting the wiki for a snapshot in time for "she": *She* is also used instead of *it* for things to which feminine gender is conventionally attributed: a ship or boat (especially in colloquial <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloquial> and dialect use), often said of a carriage, a cannon or gun, *a tool or utensil of any kind*, and occasionally of other things. *She* refers to abstractions personified as feminine, and also for *the soul*, a city, a country, an army, the Church, and others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She unoffended, cdm
