How to combine two histograms python

Question

male[['Gender','Age']].plot(kind='hist', x='Gender', y='Age', bins=50)
female[['Gender','Age']].plot(kind='hist', x='Gender', y='Age', bins=50)

So basically, I used data from a file to create two histograms based on gender and age. From the beginning I separated the data by gender to initially plot. Now i'm having a hard time putting the two histograms together.

As mentioned in the comment, you can use matplotlib to do this task. I haven't figured out how to plot two histogram using Pandas tho (would like to see how people have done that).

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import random

# example data
age = [random.randint(20, 40) for _ in range(100)]
sex = [random.choice(['M', 'F']) for _ in range(100)]

# just give a list of age of male/female and corresponding color here
plt.hist([[a for a, s in zip(age, sex) if s=='M'], 
          [a for a, s in zip(age, sex) if s=='F']], 
         color=['b','r'], alpha=0.5, bins=10)
plt.show()
