Plug/socket terminology is not necessarily the same as male/female terminology. The socket can be male, if it is the one with the metal pins. The power connector on the back of a PC is a good example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_of_connectors_and_faste...

Of course, people aren't necessarily using the terminology completely correctly as it is.

And then there's the connectors on fancy RF equipment that can assume either role!
