What Determines if a Connector is Male or Female

[Larry Fine]

Reminds me of the story about the 710 cap.

She took a moment to get what I was implying but I knew she understood when a wave of red blushing crossed her face . . .

Like Edith Bunker. "Ohhh. Ohhhhh. Ohhhhhhhhh!"

I got to dance with with my 710 cap just yesterday.

Does that make them all male?

Some connectors are often referred to as Bruce Jenner connectors. They look like females, but you have to look up the skirt(ing) to be sure

honestly, somewhat graphically, pin (male) goes into receptacle (female)

Fred, from your example it is obvious there is sexism involved as the female is pictures as big compared to the male. LOL!! How are things in Harrah?

I thing the politically correct terms are gender neutral or gender fluid....

I believe it is a lifestyle choice, now. What does the connector WANT to be?

I was thinking the same thing. Irregardless of what it looks like on the outside...how does the connector want to be identified today?

Keep in mind that tomorrow, it may change its mind.
