Now firstly, I'm not sure why you would want to do this. Secondly, I cannot vouch that it is true. I was doing a bit of research on paprika and came across this:

Look at the bottom of the pepper (not stalk end). If it has 3 bumps its male. If it has 4 bumps its female. At this point you all rush off to your fridge to inspect pepper bottoms...

It made me wonder what other vegetables have genders and how to tell... and whether, as a cook, it matters!
 
peppers do not have a sex.
nor any other fruit.
nor any other vegetable.
fake news.
