In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for a male or a female. Examples of gender nouns are:

male: female

actor: actress (actor is also a common gender noun)

bachelor: bachelorette (spinster)

baron: baroness

billy goat: nanny goat

boar: sow (pig, hog, bear, or badger)

boy: girl

brother: sister

buck: doe (deer, antelope, hare, or rabbit)

bull: cow (cattle, buffalo, bison, elephant, hippo, giraffe, camel, elk, moose, yak, dolphin, whale, walrus, or alligator)

cob: pen (swan)

cock: hen (chicken, crow, dove, finch, gull, heron, hummingbird, jay, lark, nightingale, ostrich, parrot, pigeon, or quail)

count: countess

dad: mum

daddy: mummy

dog: bitch (dog or wolf)

drake: duck (hen)

drone: queen and worker

duke: duchess

emperor: empress

father-in-law: mother-in-law

father: mother

fox (reynard or dog): vixen

gander: goose

gentleman: lady

grandfather: grandmother

groom: bride

groomsman: bridesmaid

heir: heiress (heir is also a common gender noun)

hero: heroine (hero is also a common gender noun)

host: hostess

husband: wife

jack: jenny (donkey)

king: queen

lad: lass

landlord: landlady

lion: lioness

lord: lady

male: female

man: woman

master: mistress

nephew: niece

papa: mama

peacock: peahen

poet: poetess (poet is also a common gender noun)

priest: priestess

prince: princess

prophet: prophetess

shepherd: shepherdess

sir: madam

son: daughter

stallion: mare (horse or zebra)

tiger: tigress

tom: hen (turkey)

tomcat: queen (or cat)

uncle: aunt

waiter: waitress

widower: widow

Many gender specific nouns have become obsolete (stewardess is now a flight attendant, aviatrix is now a pilot) and many gender specific nouns are now used as common gender nouns (author, executor). Language evolves just as society evolves.
