And in German, trousers are feminin, skirts are masculine and little girls are neuter.

getting completely off topic:
No, it's "die Hosen" originally, plural, from English "hoses"; "a pair of trousers" = "ein Paar Hosen".
"Das Mädchen" is neuter because of her diminuitive ("die Maid").
But in contemporary German you're right.

I find much more illogical that the sun is feminine and the moon is masculine in German. ;-)

Aber lassen wir das...
