Gendered Connectors
"Someone once asked me why were some connectors denoted "male" or "female""
I do wonder about how this came to be the dominant language, given that the terms "plug" and "socket" go back at least as far. And, while I'm not the biggest proponent of political correctness, I am concerned that with the proliferation of technology, this will come to affect children at younger and younger ages. "Mommy, why is this thing that I stick into that thing called male and that other one female?"
