What are you on about"la" is the feminine.
No, having googled it, apparently "world" uses the masculine. How strange.

Yesbut 'monde' is a masculine word. You had that part right the first time. It's le monde, not la monde.

I guess they don't feminise objects in the way that English does.I guess it would have to be "the world is a cruel master" but that doesn't sound French enough, damn it!

It's a stupid language.It's really hard to explain to kids why foreign languages have genders for nouns anyway. Especially in German, where the have three.
