Why is it masculine?
Après-midis is masculine because it derives from the Latin "post meridiem" (after midday), where "meridiem" (midday) is the accusative form of the masculine noun "meridies," and this masculine gender was retained when the phrase evolved into a single French noun. The word is essentially a fossilized compound that preserved the gender of its Latin source.
