I think that you should be able to ATLEAST have a choice to have two different villagers! The females would where some color hoods (or hair) and males would have assigned wives to live with. I also think that Jeb and the Mojang crew should make it so that you (the player) could get married and have a kid.
When you want people, play sims.
When you want to burn down villages, murder testificate children, and have an entire world to yourself... play minecraft
Would get rather complicated though, don't you think? Having to get a male and female animal to breed. I rather like the simplicity of how it is now.
I dont think it would be THAT complicated, it would work exactly the same as now but you just need two different genders. When an animal spawns it always spawns in a group of at LEAST two. Chances are in favor that the first group you find, if all the animals that spawned in the group are still near each other, will have at least one male and one female. That is just my opinion, would add a small twist to breeding rather than burst in, breed everything, and leave. Wait, acually it would be just about the same.....

Well I mean that then we wouldn't want male chickens laying eggs or be able to milk male cows. Just seems a lot simpler to be generic and milk any cow and gather eggs from any chicken.

Ah yes, some changes would have to be made. Like having cows and bulls, chickens and roosters, etc. I think to balance it out, males would be able to breed again quicker than females. Possibly make it so that bulls can be milked too? No wait, not that. People would have horribly the wrong idea.
And i just notice, you might have been the first person who had completely different views on what should be added yet you didn't rage in my face like 90% of the forums would do.
When breeding was introduced, Mojang made a conscious decision to make mobs reproduce sexually (i.e. requiring two) but without genders. It's not like they FORGOT there were males and females out there. They knew exactly what they were doing, and they did it for very good reasons. Those reasons still apply.
Most of Minecraft is actually fairly abstract. The items and systems in the game are essentially schematic; they perform a basic function, and that's that. Minecraft breeding distills the process down to the bare minimum elements to make it work: you need two of anything to breed them, and also raising livestock requires food. Dividing mobs into separate genders is a bit more complexity than is really needed.

Retired Staff...I think not.
It won't be anything worse than current breeding, would acually be nice to have male and female villigers, and even animals too.
When you want to burn down villages, murder testificate children, and have an entire world to yourself... play minecraft
On a more serious note, this idea is silly and not well thought up. Consider reading this forum: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1228204-please-read-this-before-making-a-suggestion/

But in all honesty I would love to see villager genders. It would add a little more uniqueness around a village.
