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

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.

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.

I was in the infantry, all male(or used to be) work environment, and we had nontechnical names and terms for things that were not offensive to the all male work force.
One time I had to do a detail with soldiers that had females in their midsts. I forget exactly what we were doing, but let's just say we told one of the soldiers to go fetch us the donkey dick, and they were oblivious as to what we were asking for because they had come up in the PC side of the Army. Us being infantry had no clue what they called a donkey dick, and we reached an impasse that required one of our guys to go find the donkey dick, but we were working on their equipment, with their people, so no one fucking knew what we were talking about. It took someone finding an old timer NCO, who had been around before their MOS had become politically correct to explain to both sides what a donkey dick was and why the younger soldiers had no clue what a donkey dick was, because they weren't allowed to use that type of language anymore.

How dare you! You misogynistic asshole! Let the plug decide it’s own gender! I’m sorry but I just had to take a break from letting my baby decide if it wants a diaper change to come here and say this!
