          People need to stop using gender with cabling. It’s confusing as hell. They’re plugs, which mate with (plug into) receptacles, and there are pins, which mate with sockets! Is a plug with sockets male or female? What about a receptacle with pins?

      A local electronics shop around here is selling one of those as a joke. Except it has a male plug on one end and a 220 volt dryer plug on the other.
