Any of the CGA monitors I have at home have a captive cable with, IIRC, a
female DB9.

  All of the CGA cards that I can recall seeing had
female connectors, so
 most likely, the monitors have male connectors. 
That only implies that the *cable* has a male connector on one end; it
doesn't really tell you anything about the monitor.

I'd be inclined to expect that most CGI monitors either had a captive
cable, or had a female connector on the monitor as well.  But it's been
so long since I looked at CGI monitors that I don't recall.
