Only the nouns - and their related adjectives - are masculine and feminine in French.

English doesn't make the the same sorts of distinctions between masculine, feminine and neuter nouns as do some languages. For example Spanish distinguishes gender of all nouns very specifically using the terms "el" (for masculine nouns) and "la" (for feminine nouns). Many languages do the same (e.g., French and German - not always logically - Mark Twain has a delightful discussion regarding the inconsistent use of masculine and feminine distinctions in German in his essay "The Awful German Language"). So let's talk about some specifics. English does have masculine, feminine, and neuter pronouns. The masculine pronoun is "he", the feminine pronoun is "she", and the neuter pronoun is "it". Although it is not classified as a feminine noun, a ship is usually referred to as "she" rather than "it". In addition, English very definitely makes distinctions between masculine and feminine nouns in other ways. For example, the nouns "man, bishop, bull, prince, boar, rooster, stag, and gentleman" refer only to males in English. The nouns "woman, princess, nun, empress, hen, sow, and lady" refer only to females. And, of course, there are the nouns "male" and "female."

The Netherlands is considered a neuter noun in Dutch, so it doesn't have a gender in the same way that masculine and feminine nouns do in other languages. However, when referring to the country, it is often addressed using the pronoun "het," which is the neuter form. In terms of personification, some may describe countries with feminine attributes, but grammatically, the Netherlands is neuter.
Masculine and feminine word pairs refer to terms that denote gender distinctions, often found in languages that have gendered nouns. Examples include "actor" (masculine) and "actress" (feminine), "waiter" (masculine) and "waitress" (feminine), and "prince" (masculine) and "princess" (feminine). In many contexts, there is a movement toward using gender-neutral terms, such as "server" instead of "waiter/waitress." The list of 100 pairs would be extensive, reflecting various professions, familial roles, and titles across different languages.
