No, there isn't. That's exactly it. When I was taught the word, it was somehow associated with the feminine, so I remembered it that way.
But it's a wrong way of thinking. We shouldn't associate the word with feminine because it makes us think that these are negative qualities typically associated with females. How does one change the general mindset on something like this. I can change the way I think, but can't change the world.
I hope this is clearer, I think I may not be expressing myself well.
