Somewhere, in an engineering dept, a group of men have argued over whether a bunch of little penises are greater than one big penis.

Don’t believe me? Check out the Serial and LPT ports, and look at which end is considered male and female.

Dear lord are we now gonna have to rename all our cords to satisfy the rainbow gods...
