To the Norse, they were conceptually similar. Those who "received" it, were like women. It's kind of hard to explain their worldview of gender, but for example some men crossdressed to "receive" visions as seers and priests, and that was seen as a feminine passive act too.

ETA: In Euro cultures, gender wasn't always seen as this immutable embodied binary thing like it was today; iirc it was during the Renaissance with science that things started to shift. However, the symbolism of active penetrating male and passive receiving female remained (ETA2: common across many cultures!), and that active/passive is at the root of rape culture imo.
