To put all this nonsense in context : when the sexes became divided as they are today, with one being valued over the other, the "default" sex of things changed. When things are good, mighty, clean, noble etc etc They were commonly referred to as masculine qualities. Many qualities we despise today in our everyday lives are supposedly feminine qualities. This is just another example of human hate and rationalizations of fears and hates warping the world.
If it is not one thing to battle over, it is another. If it is not race, it's sex, if not sex, it's religion.
I do not think that the title "It", denotes a lack of intelligence, just a lack of something familiar. If you do not recognize something, if you cannot categorize "it", it devolves into an "it". For example: I am a transman. Usually, I pass as a man. Other times, I have been referred to as an "it" because my gender/sex is not easily identified.
