    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?

      if it has pins it’s male because it shouldn’t have any power. feminist electrical theory.
