You have them fitted the right way around. Many people fit some type of 'protection ball' to the hose just above the male connector, this stops unintended disconnection issues.

i fitted them the othe way, as i have the male end on a tap and wanted the tap on my hose reel.
the only difference is that the pole hose now isnt as easy to drain.

Home-made protecta-ball. It's smaller and slides over the fitting so you can protect your fittings more easily and will prevent it coming apart.  They still get caught on things tho.

You've got the fittings the right way round.
