No, you just pulled off a single female pod.

They often seem like they're male because they swell up and seem like a "ball"

however.. male flowers are much more distinct. Often appearing well before any female flowers.

Also, they appear as a "ball on a stick" or a bunch of mini-bananas. Not pods.

Pods = female.
