This is VERY easy to understand if people would pull their heads out of their butt and know what "male end" and "female end" refers to:
Male End = side with exposed pins
Female End = side with recessed holes to accept the exposed pins
THINK ABOUT IT! This isn't rocket science. Last I checked, my male end had an exposed pin that fit into my wife's recessed holes
Thanks for clarification Joey! If that is the case, the diagram is of the female end, not the male end.
