I think it would be most organized if their responses were daughters to my comment, so all of the conclusions could be found grouped in one location.
Just curious why the responses are female.
The default gender is (usually) male, so I like to play with this by choosing the female gender whenever I have a free choice.
Nevertheless, branches and sub-divisions of any type are typically feminine -- always sisters or daughters. Perhaps the reason for this is that the sisters and daughters inherit the ability of their mothers to again divide/branch/etc and this is considered a female trait.

Males divide and inherit equally well :)
I always assumed that the predominantly male engineers behind terms like motherboard / daughterboard were simply lonely.
