Yes, the masculine/feminine distinction is not completely lost (yet) in modern Dutch. But > Whether most speakers actually know the correct gender and thus pronoun is another question ;). There is no "correct" grammar from a descriptive point of view. When most people don't distinguish masculine nouns from feminine ones any more, linguists tend to say "the m/f distinction is disappearing" instead of "there is a m/f distinction but most people don't know the correct gender".
