7 way cord Bigfoot-Ford connection question

The plug body itself is the "male" but the "male" parts of the actual electrical connections (the "pins") are in the "female" socket on the truck.

So it kinda is a "female cradle for a male plug."

If you really want to get confused look at a 4-pin. There are three males and a female on one half of the connector, and three females and a male on the other. Talk about a gender identity crisis...
