The terminal(DTE) serial port was male because the modem (DCE) port was female. And that's just the way some gonzo's did it so you wouldn't plug a DTE into a DTE unless you wanted to or were dumb-n-dangerous. Then they switched to D-9 and f**k*d up everybody again. The worst, tho, is that the back panels don't get labeled, clearly or otherwise!
