While it's true that typically masculine nouns refer to men and feminine nouns refer to women, there are some exceptions. For example:
* The word "ἡμέρα" (hēmera) means "day" and is grammatically feminine, but it can refer to a period of 24 hours regardless of the time of day.
* The word "ὁ ἄνθρωπος" (ho anthrōpos) means "man" and is grammatically masculine, but it can also refer to a person of either sex.
In addition, some words that are grammatically masculine can refer to women in certain contexts. For example, the word "ὁ διδάσκαλος" (ho didaskalos) means "teacher" and is grammatically masculine, but it can be used to refer to a female teacher.
