Is contre in french masculine?

It depends whether you're using it alone or not. "Un contre" literally means "a counter" (like when a player charges down a kick in Rugby, for instance), and in this case it is masculine. If part of a two-piece word, such as "un contre-argument" or "une contre-offensive", it assumes the gender of the word it is linked to ("argument" and "offensive" in my examples, which are masculine and feminine respectively). It can also mean "against", though (for instance "je suis contre le racisme"), and in this case gender won't matter to you because it won't affect how the word is spelled or used.

Why did the Romans invent masculine and feminine language?

The Romans did not "invent" masculine and feminine language. Several other languages which were spoken before or during the same time period as Latin also used masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns/adjective (e.g. Ancient Greek, which predates Latin). Besides all that, languages are rarely, if ever, "invented"; they develop organically from the way they are spoken. In other words, the Romans never sat down and consciously decided to use gendered nouns/adjectives; it just sort of happened (probably because Indo-European, an ancestor language of Latin, Greek, and many other languages, likely used gendered nouns/adjectives as well).
