I see this every year and I don’t understand what it’s needed for. Surely however you’ve got it set up it’s still going WALL ->->-> LIGHTS all in one direction. How do they end up with something needing power having a female socket on it?

You hang the lights backwards and don’t realize until they’re up on the eaves.

Christmas lights are chained and if you set them up wrong you'll have two female ends near each other.

Euro so perhaps I don't understand 120v insanity, but you string your lights up wrong with the male plug at the top end of the roof away from the wall socket.

Look at a plug socket. Now imagine instead of being innies all those holes are outies at the end of an extension cord.

IIRC it has something to do with how live parts should never be exposed, and a male-to-male cord would mean if you plug it in, the two prongs on the other end would be energized. Like sticking a fork into an electrical socket but now you don't even need a fork.

Things with a plug normally plug into the mains and provide power to useful things, like fridges or TV or sex robots. This plugs into the mains and provides power to whatever is nearby, like the carpet or your toddler or any flammable items.

It's like the difference between a propane bbq and a gas leak.

Handful of reasons.
If you plug each end into a wall socket, there will be an electrical fire in a few seconds.
WRT Christmas lights, it means that all the other end, there is a live male plug. If you touch it across those terminals, it completes a 110-V circuit and fries you. If something else grounds across it, it fries that and stars a fire.

Everybody knows that you should start plugging these cords in at the cold end first so you stick one end in your butt and only then do you plug it into the wall.

:eng101: There will maybe be a fire in a few seconds.

There could also be a fire in a few minutes/hours when no one is looking, a bypassed circuit breaker/gfci, or everything operating as desired with no bad effects depending on which wall sockets you pick and what else is connected to the building wiring
