BTW, in German, French, Romanian, Russian an angel is a mail, excuse the
foreign stamp collector..., a male.


No, definitely not. An angel is neither male nor female, it is a mix of
both. If you look at an angel, you can see whatever you want to see.

The sex of angels is a subject as old as the Christianity itself, and I'm
not a scholar in it, especially since I need glasses... :-)

I have just noticed that gramatically, in the mentioned languages, the
angels have the male gender. In English, well, the gender is not obvious.
