I don't know. I'm just not hugely impressed that Moro makes the
general group of children "girls" instead of "boys". Nothing really
remarkable about that IMHO. I think it's a neat little way to do it
differently though. I guess I just don't find it weird or strange or
very unique, because it was boud to occur *somewhere*).
Hell, there's no gender in Tagalog (except in borrowed words from
Spanish) and even the 3rd person pronouns are gender neutral (leading
Filipinos to say "she" when they mean "he" and vice versa when
speaking English), but that doesn't mean the society is especially
"gender neutral".
