You jest, but it's not always clear. Take the common Cannon "D-sub" connectors. A connector with male contacts will have have a female shield, making gender ambiguous. That's why they come in P (pin) or S (socket) forms, and not male/female.

Or the old Token Ring connectors (or even older GR-874), which were hermaphroditic.
