The Bible doesn't teach that God is male. He created mankind in his own image "male and female he created them." God is spirit, and neither male nor female, but there is some way in which both male and female together are a reflection of God.
Do you really think that only men are creative? That has not been proven true in my experience.

When God came to earth he was definitely a man, male in his being. His name is Jesus. When we talk God in heaven, in His full glory, I would have to say He is neither man nor woman. God made mankind in His image but states also that in heaven there is no male and female. I think he made man and woman and put them together in the garden with the full knowledge that they needed each other to be complete. Perhaps this also help us understand the nature of God in some small way. I don't believe this can be answered decisively until we meet Him personally and God explains it to us.

In countless references to God in Scripture, there is clearly a consistent pattern of His being referred to with masculine titles, nouns, and pronouns. While God is not a man, but is a Spirit, He chose a masculine form in order to reveal Himself to mankind. Likewise, Jesus Christ, who is constantly referred to with masculine titles, nouns, and pronouns, took a male form while He walked on the earth. The prophets of the Old Testament and the Apostles of the New Testament refer to both God and Jesus Christ with masculine names and titles. God chose to be revealed in this form in order for man to more easily grasp who God is. To assert that God chose a female form to be revealed to man is not consistent with the pattern established by Scripture. Again, had God chosen a feminine form, there would be more evidence in Scripture of that. That evidence simply does not exist. While God makes allowances in order to help mankind understand Him, it is important to not try to “force God into a box,” so to speak, by placing limitations on Him that are not appropriate to the nature of who He is.

He's not male exclusively! He's both male AND female.
However, we use the masculine to keep order. One of the names of G-d, "El Shaddai", translates into 'the many breasted G-d' & refers to His nurturing, compassionate side.

We can't. God, if he/she/it is all powerful, would have the ability to choose any form / being / sex it wanted.
There is no way of knowing the "truth" of God's gender.

If God exists, God is way beyond things like gender.

God is actually neither male nor female. Just back when the Bible was written the culture was that men were more important then women so God was called a 'He' and not 'She'.

Women are not usually referred to as "Our Father"
