I agree so much on this. I remember being confused at the overt description of a phone jack (standard guitar plug) being a male jack and a female input. I’d be very interested in the history of this phrasing. Makes so much more sense to just call it ‘plug’ and ‘input’.
Small joke, If inputs have genders, this “male-to-male coupler” must be a really stressful photo for some phobic individuals:
Or even worse, look what THIS ONE DOES!
