As with naval ships and other vehicles (both real and fictional) are always referred to in a feminine manner. Battlemechs would be no different.
They might seem masculine by some person who has a chip on their shoulder about any thing that might be male. That masculine quality is projected onto the asexual machine because its a object of war. Aggression and a tendency to violence is considered a male trait. Which is inherently a sexist point of view.

I don't really know what this even is? BattleMechs are literally asexual in that they do not have a sex, true, yeah, but pretty much all of them (at least in MWO) are explicitly man-looking just because they Look Like Men and not because people are sexist against men (who cares if they are) by relating violence to masculinity (traditional definitions of masculinity and violence are intrinsically linked) (sorry if this upsets you) (no I'm not)
