this is what the right is afraid we’ll use on children
The right just can’t stop thinking about children’s genitals.
Who’s slapping their genitals on everything?..
That didn’t come out right.
I would prefer it if private parts stayed private. A person’s gender has no influence on how a treat a person. It’s TMI for me.
I’m not sure why everyone needs to announce their gender now.
Edit: what about what I said was unpopular? I’ve experienced sexual abuse and I’m not comfortable with people talking about sex and their bits. But I’m forced to keep people’s genitals in mind now.
As a dude who build wire harnesses, I absolutely loathe when people call them male/female.
There are plugs and receptacles, and pins and sockets.
Plugs plug into receptacles. Receptacles get plugged into by plugs.
Pins plug into sockets. Sockets get plugged into by pins.It can get very confusing when you have a receptacle with pins or a plug with sockets and some chode says something gender referenced, such as “the male end”.
Ok, are you talking about the plug? Nope, obviously they were talking about the receptacle, because it has pins, even though that’s the end that gets plugged into.So frustrating.
Jst-sm are a nightmare to figure out. i know that the side carrying voltage is supposed to be the one with the plugs, but that one is hard to mount to anything. i hate and love them very much. they go against everything a connector is supposed to be (at least in my mind) and they are beautiful. highly recommend. at least for RC stuff.
My sister entirely refers to these as “the hole” and “the penis”. In a progressive setting, neither of these terms are gendered.
shouldn’t it be female/female?
It plugs into a female connector making it a male connector.
I probably still have boxes of such things somewhere. Yeah, back in the 1990’s we had all kinds of not-politically-correct nicknames for various cables and adapters.
Wouldn’t this make it 20th century tech?
