That's probably the least intuitive because the male end is also something of a socket, and the female end something of a plug

True story, I spent 10 min arguing with someone explaining why the male connector was inserting and the female was receiving. They were legitimately confused.

I'm sure they'll make separate DB9 connectors for the other 64 genders any day now.

Sex of a connector is determined by the conductor pin. Haha Pin.

Electricians, on the other hand, must be PC-cucked. They don't have make and female... they have THREE. A plug is what you might call male. A receptacle is the thing on a wall that you stick a plug in. But there's also an outlet, a point where electrical service is exposed, but it may or may not have a receptacle. For example, ceiling fans are usually connected at outlets, but not at receptacles.
