The Apple charger I got with my Macbook Air is the only charger with usb-c female I've ever had. USB-A male to Lightning male or USB-C female to Lightning male would probable be better.
Almost all cables have either USB-C male to USB-C male, or USB-C male to something else.
A USB charger that is male would be so unusual, I can't even imagine what it would physically look like.

I have a bunch of things like this around the house. I'm not trying to deny the existence of usb-c female power adapters, but IMHO they are a more recent phenomenon than usb-a female power adapters, and the male-ended usb-c power adapters that ship with many devices.
I'm not trying to justify whatever's going on in Brazil, but usb-c female to lightning or usb-a male to lightning would be generally easier to accomodate, for me. I also have (for instance) usb-a female sockets in the car.
Those are chargers that have an integrated cable that of course ends in male.
I really didn't know those still existed. It seems like such atrocious design -- the vast, vast majority of consumer electronics has moved to separating the charger and cable when using USB, precisely so you can reuse chargers and replace worn cables. I'm pretty shocked Nintendo and Lenovo are so backwards on this. Is there really a significant cost savings or something for them? It's so user-hostile.
Through it is without question pretty user hostile that they haven't updated their design wrt. this aspect in recent years.
USB-C notebooks are still very expensive here. I just brought a new Dell Inspiron. IT have greate specs but still uses the old dell charger.
- it wouldn't be a problem if Apple did use USB-C, because "good enough" USB-C chargers are "everywhere" (e.g. come with your laptop, tablet, previous phone, etc.). And aren't too expensive either.
