You can blame none other than IBM for this one.  Every serial port on
every PC, PC clone, etc. has a female connector.  Also, some
clones use DB9 connectors instead of DB25's.

One of the reasons for choosing the IPC 802 was that it had ports that
were physically just like the port on a true IBM PC.
