If there is anything in French I am confident of without consulting a dictionary is that the male genial will come with a male definite article.

I stand corrected and am, once again, confused by the French.

If it makes you feel any better I only bothered to look because I studied Spanish for a few years and was once wrong about the same thing. Several dialects have words for "cock" that use the feminine article.
