I almost had a gotcha, but electricians don't really make network cabling.

A male to male electrical cable with wall socket plugs is a fire hazard. There are some made to be used to connect a generator to a house but it's a really bad idea.

There's a reason they're nicknamed "suicide cords"

Agreed, it still had me thinking about others that they might make.

Network cable also doesn't do male to male lol what? You do mean patch cables yes, like cat#? Rj45 ends definitely require a female end, and you surely aren't splicing the wires together with dolphins i hope.
