I remember an engineering lecture class where a female engineer came in talking about how she was leading a campaign to take “male” and “female” out of terminology for connectors.
Electrical components aren't named after "gender." They are named like sex parts because they resemble them. Literally. There's a sticky outie thing and a thing to stick it into. Literally.
