I wonder if we could make some projections here, because based on the fact that women are from Venus and men from mars, it appears that we are gaining letters as the planet gets closer to the sun. As there is one planet (earth) between Venus and mars, we could reasonably extrapolate that the gender from earth should be called ‘omen’ - that’s simple logic. The next question is what letter to we add to find out which gender is from mercury?

At least that way we can be reasonably sure that en are from Jupiter

Actually are we going to end up with ‘minus’ letters I think we are ‘n’ are from Saturn and ‘ ‘ are from Neptune - who is from Uranus?
