That does not apply to giant squid. Maybe to some species like firefly squid, but not giant squid. Giant squid in real life are red and do not have dots accross their backs. The true way to tell squid genders apart is the fact male squids have a modified 3rd right arm called a hectocotylus, which they used to aid in reproduction. There's a documentary regarding it called Inside Nature's Giants: Giant Squid, which shows exactly how squid reproduce and lay eggs if you ever want to watch it.
