No. Coat colour is rarely dependent on the cat's gender; female and male cats can share nearly every colour and pattern.

It is very rare for a male cat to have calico colouring, just as it is uncommon for a female cat to be ginger/red - it is much more common for a male cat to have a red or ginger coat.
