Srila Prabhupada would never instruct his disciples to use masculine terms in addressing the females. There might have being some isolated incidents in typed letters, which may likely be typograghical errors. Basically calling the lady devotees "Prabhu" is nothing but hijacking of Sanskrit language, which would invoke laughters from Sanksrit linguists.
