First Nepenthes Flower Ever! Male or Female?

The Nepenthes Ramispina I recently received just flowered! Having no experience with Nepenthes flowers before this, I don't know if it's male or female (but statistically I know it is most likely male). What do you all think?

Either way, I'm willing to trade pollen with someone.
 
looks like a male to me, flower stalk is rather pointed and long, buds are round. could be wrong though
 
*Zooms in* It LOOKS like a male to me, the flower buds are round.

It's a bit early but I would agree that it is likely male. Statistically, males are more common . . . .
 
Ooh boy, this will make for an interesting hybrid!
 
Ummm Are you growing your nep in an attic, why are there cobwebs on it? Sorry for not answering your question..Curious.
 
No, it's in a greenhouse. I just don't mind them that much. I'll take it off if it ruins too much of the beauty of the plant, but right now this Ramispina doesn't have too much of that; it's basically a vine with no fully-developed pitchers right now.
