の has a female connotation and I wanted to obtain some alternative final
sentence particles.

question
colloquial-language sentence-final-particles gender
What final sentence particle can replace の and is used more commonly by men?
From Japanese in MangaLand by Marc Bernabe:

よ：a) to sound convining, b) to express an order or a wish

さ: emphasizing effect like ね, but mainly in the area of Tokyo

ぞ： A particle only by men in informal-vulgar language, similar to よ to convey
certainty.

ぜ: similar to よ and ぞ, but a bit "cooler", mainly by young men

answer
Colloquial language in females is sometimes characterized by dropping the
sentence-final だ altogether to sound less forceful/direct. So the equivalent
sentence-end for colloquial male language would be のだ, which regularly (almost
always) contracts to んだ in casual contexts.
