Most ancient gods were ascribed a gender and most cultures had gods of both genders,and they tended to be overtly sexual,often with robust,outrageous sex lives, reproducing in many inventive ways.. EG The Egyptians, Chinese, Indians, Greeks,Romans.Norse,
The God YHWH was originally a part of the Canaanite pantheon.(lifted from the Sumerians) He has always been very much male in every sense, even originally having a wife, Asheroth,
All of the ancient cultures I mentioned above were essentially misogynistic. If they ascribed a gender to a god ,it was because it was seen as that gender,period. In many languages and cultures, there is no neutral gender;EVERYTHING is masculine or feminine.
Modern apologists claim that YHWH incorporates both sexes. Eg that Sophia (wisdom) is the female aspect of YHWH. I consider the claim nonsense,
My perception is whats -it's-name, with it's reductio-ad-adsurdum-feminist view, speaks ex rectum.
