You guys went for socio-political aspects that I wasn't even considering. I just figured that if I could at any moment be a male rabbit, a female squirrel, a table, a bottle of wine, a male salmon, a female dragonfly, a hat, a shoe, a male Kree, a female Badoon, or a laser rifle - I wouldn't place any importance on gender.

Nevertheless, I'll take your word for it that Skrulls are male-dominated and therefore they care about gender in a political context.
