Re: male/female
Nope! My kettle has a chassis-mounted plug, and the cord has a cable-mounted socket on the end.
(I.e. the exposed pins are in the kettle, in a recess. The receptacles are in the moulded part mounted on the cable.) Male and female don't apply.
If it has pins, it's the plug. Once I got my head round this, it made booking the right thing out of the stores a lot easier. I also appreciate that this terminology is NOT universally accepted, so we may just have to agree to differ!
