Well..... to put it lightly, the male is the connector that sticks out from the cord, like the end of a pair of headphones, and the female end is the end that is inside the device, like the headphone port on an ipod.
An 'in' port is a male port, but a 'out' port is a female port
male
On recent computers the 25 pin D-sub is for the parallel port that is used to connect a printer to. On older (back in the mid to early 90s) there was also a 25 pin D-sub that was used as a COM (communication) port. The difference between the two is the printer port is a female port and the COM port is a male port.
It is a portable bathroom for male and female! It was me!
gender changer
if it has a separate cable both ends of the cable are male and in the back of the computer and the back of the monitor is female
Mechanical fittings all have male and female parts, a common household plug, would be the male end, and what the plug fits into, the outlet, would be the female part, the female port of any instrument would be the hole that the male counterpart fits into, like a guitar cord that plugs into a guitar would be the male end, the connection on the guitar that it plugs into would be the female part. Another example would be a common bolt, the bolt is male, the nut that the bolt goes into, is the female part.

well i don't think the question given is a correct question because like give the difference between the keyboard port and the usb port
It is not called a female port. For every cable, there is a male, and a female. These cables are the opposites of each other so they can connect to one another. This is example of a male cable: http://images.Asia.ru/img/alibaba/photo/51732182/RS232_9_Pin_Male_to_9_Pin_Male_Cable.jpg Notice the extended prongs, this is the reason it is called male. This is a female cable: http://www.chinawholesalegift.com/pic/Electrical-Gifts/Computer-Hardware-Accessories/Cable-Adaptor/VGA-15Pin-Male-to-VGA-15Pin-Female-Cable-13281821289.jpg It contains slots to receive the prongs of the male cable so that they can interface. (please don't take this comment as a joke, they really are called male, and female.)
Parallel port. The male connector is a serial port. Good luck on the A+ exam :P
