Back when I was really interested in planes, I thought everything with a T-tail or a tail-mounted engine was feminine...

 

 

Definitely not for me; T-tails and tail-mounted engines obviously look masculine IMO. The only exception in my list is the MD-90 due to its long sleek design.

I think the DC-10 and MD-11 look feminine especially the MD-11 because it is longer and skinnier, what about the Concorde, feminine or masculine?

 

 

I'd also disagree, since I find the in-line duct for the third engine on the DC-10/MD-11 to be quite masculine, as compared to the S-duct on the L-1011.
