Some people have whole house generators for when their power goes out for extended periods of time. The simplest/ bad way to connect the generator to the house is a male to male connector to the breaker box.
Yes but NO!
If you have a generator you should have several security installions in place and at that point hard wired everything.
You need at least a switch that disconnects the system power and then enables the generator amd vise versa
