Why is it feminine?

Carnes is feminine because it derives from Latin "carnem" (accusative of "caro"), which was feminine in Latin, and Spanish retained this gender through regular phonetic evolution. Like many Spanish feminine nouns ending in -e (such as "clase" and "noche"), it preserves the gender of its Latin ancestor rather than following a predictable pattern based on its modern ending.
