In a sentence-evaluation experiment in French, German, and English, readers of French and German interpreted masculine forms intended as generic as male-biased, regardless of how stereotypical the role name was; English showed a stereotype effect instead.
"In contrast to English, stereotypicality of role names had no influence on readers’ male biased representations in French and German, where interpretations were dominated by the masculinity of the masculine (allegedly) intended as generic."
