Male/Female VGA ridiculous and confusing

[mrbog]

HD15 female should be called HD15 male
and HD15 male should be called HD15 female.

The female one fits inside the male one?!?!?! I don't know how you
hardware guys make babies but where I come from the male fits inside
the female. Yea yea the pins.

Ridiculous.

While you're at it you may as well whine about rf connectors. See
the back of your tv? That's a female F connector. Can you say F
connector? Sure you can.

It's a female conector with a male housing. Think of the center
conductor as your little dick and things should become much more
clear.

The closest thing to a rule is:

The body determines plug vs socket and pin determines male vs female.
This way you can say a "male socket" to discribe a connector like the 15
pin ones used for VGA.

Whose idiotic idea was it to make "male socket" an acceptable term?
That's the gayest thing I ever heard. What is this, Queer Eye For the
Hardware Industry? Ohh honey, coper's not your color, you need gold,
baby. I rest my case.

Maybe you've never tightened down a VCO fitting with a female nut?
