You'll have to excuse the some what crude reference, but the 'male' and 'female' thing can be compared to how things go in sex.

So, the firewire card would be 'female' and the firewire cable, whether it be the 6-pin or 4-pin connector, and the cable would be male on both ends regardless of the connector.
