In general, anything that has no gender or both genders (like a group of people) just defaults to the male gender.

I remember this being a big topic back when wokeism started to gain steam, as one of the original "we need to de-gender language!" examples. It was obviously the machinations of the Patriarchy that determined masculine to be the default.
