It's nothing more than personal opinion. I don't pay much attention to the opinions of others, they aren't paying my bills 
I don't think I any colour is feminine or masculine. All personal preference.
I had black iPhones from the 3G to the 4S, also had a black iPad 1st gen.
Then went white with the iPhone 5 and iPad 3.
Couldn't imagine going back to black iPhones now. I much prefer the White.
Most of the people I know have white phones actually. Male and female. Besides two who have blue Galaxy Note 3's.
I don't see a man with a whole phone and think it's too feminine. Any more than me being female and having a black phone would be masculine.
Planning to go gold on my next upgrade.

I alternate. Doesn't matter which phone it is, the sequence is the same. White, black, and repeat.
No one seems to be saying Gold. I remember when the first official gold iphone came out prices were crazy second hand espesially soon after launch.
Also was it the white iphone 4s which got delayed a few months due to production issues? Now that was a money maker for third party front and back plate manufacturers

It was the white iPhone 4. And it was delayed almost a year (10 months)
There was a problem with the flash and white back glass combo so Apple changed the glass and paint and launched the white iPhone 4 in April 2011 (the black one was launched in June 2010) and because of those changes the white one was actually a little thicker than the black one.

I owned a black iPhone, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
The only white bezel iPhone that I had was the Gold 5s.
IMHO, black bezel devices look much better.

I've always had black iPhones but for the iPhone 6 I switched to white. Glad I did I love the change.
Oh and I'm a guy. Not that it matters.

I remember that Well. Third party manufacturers were charging well over £400 to make your black iphone unto a white One lol.
I've had a black 3gs, white 4, white 5 and that's the last apple phone I owned
although it's still within the family but not mine now .Hoping to get a 6 plus or 6s plus when released and I think the slate grey looks cool. My iPad air is slate grey in fact
I used to like white because it just seemed to go better with ios 5-6. In my opinion, it still goes better with ios 7-8, but i prefer the darker colored phone.
All of my iPhone's have had black fronts. I went back to a 5S b/c I miss the small form factor and could only find a white 5S in order to be jailbroken. It's on 8.1 32gb but I did only pay $280 for it. With that said, I may still swap the front out even if I can't change the white touchID button.
I have always went with black iPhones until the gold 5s was announced. I preordered a gold version but after I couldn't get used to the white face - very disappointed because browns and gold is my favorite colors. I went back to space grey for my 6. I traded my 6 last week for a 6 plus and denied 2 people who had the gold / white face combo. When a guy contacted me with a space grey 6plus I jumped on the trade. I'm very happy now until the 7 comes out
I see a lot of white/ silver iPhones carried by men to me buy what you like and be happy it's not gender specific

Once you go black, you rarely go back
Easier to see in your bedsheets when you wake up in the morning and less easy for thieves to spot in your car/when you put it into your pocket etc. Unless your bedsheets are black/very dark, of course...
Also (more importantly, probably), the white options look terrible. Bring back Slate Grey, Apple!
