If you see me through the window
We can reach our destination
But if my back is turned instead
Our return trip meets frustration
I'm prepared for your convenience
It's something you'll appreciate
Since they have now reached out to you
They'd like you to reciprocate
What am I?

Answer
the mailing address of a reply envelopelines 1-2: The window is the window of the reply envelope through which the mailing address should be made visible for return mailing.
lines 3-4: If you inadvertently have the contents of the envelope bearing the reply address facing the opposite way, the reply address will not be showing through the window, and your letter will inevitably be returned to you since it will be undeliverable.
lines 5-6: The reply mailing address is usually pre-printed for your convenience (and to ensure accuracy).
lines 7-8: The organization which sent you such a letter is hoping that you will respond to them.
The hint is based on both of the words "male" and "female" having the sound of "mail" when spoken.
