what's up with that, since when do they use the male gender symbol? what about females, they aren't supposed to buy/drive VOLVOS?

WTF?

Same LogoType since inception in 1927.
It is not the Male symbol.:
"The Volvo symbol is an ancient chemistry sign for iron. The iron sign is used to symbolize the strength of iron used in the car as Sweden is known for its quality iron. The diagonal line (a strip of metal) across the grille came about to hold the actual symbol, a circle with an arrow, in front of the cooler. In the registration application for Volvo logotype in 1927, they simple made a copy of the entire cooler for ÖV4, viewed from the front."
