Convention for naming for audio adaptors and leads

With XLR connectors, there are male and female connectors but it is
the female connector which is inserted into the male one.
No, when describing connectors as male or female, it is the conductor pins
that define it. The pins of a male XLR "insert" into the sockets of a
female, regardless of whether they are cord or panel mount.
Trying to insert a socket "into" a pin would require more than a big hammer
:-)
