Yeah, no, it doesn't make sense:

Der Mann (the man - male article)

Die Frau (the woman - female article)

Der Junge (the boy - male article)

Das Mädchen (the girl - neutral article)

Like, come on gendered articles, you had one job.

Anything with -chen/-klein (a diminutive) is neuter.

E.g. in addition to Mädchen there is Jungchen (~"youngster") that is also neuter rather than masculine.
