It’s gross they had those names in the first place. Subconsciously male and female genital parts are recalled in your mind when someone mentions a male or female connector, whether you want to admit it or not.
You need to get off the pr0n buddy
What else would you call them?
Sockets and plugs.
Can I put my plug in your socket?
I answered keep the terminology. It’s so ingrained in me that I don’t immediately think of the genital aspect of it. But yeah it is pretty weird that it’s so widespread and not just a greasy electronics nerd going, “Heh heh… we call this one male and this one female…” so maybe I’ll change my mind haha
Btw, not to open a can of worms, but the second option should read “unrelated to sex” or “unrelated to genitals” rather than “unrelated to gender.”
🤦♂️
You're trolling.
Stop being a snowflake wanker
Nope.
We already had this shit changing repos from master to main branch, please not again
Yet masters degree was left untouched
Your dirty mind isnt reason to rename electrical connectors
Don't fix if their ain't broken!!
I like to imagine my components banging, so no.
exactly. It’s distracting from the task at hand, which justifies finding gender-unrelated terms that don’t distract
Not really lol. Everyone knows what it means
