In theory God does not need any physical body, much less a particular gender in order to express itself, but I wondered did God create these two different genders among us humans as a way to outwardly express these two differences in energies.
You see the majority the avatars physical genders match their aspect of God, like all of Vishnu's but two of his incarnations were in a male body. He is Consciousness. So my question was that for our own benefit? Would it be too confusing for us if Vishnu incarnated mostly as a woman while being a male aspect of God?
Is this because we have a certain expectation out of each gender? Like we expect women to be loving, motherly, caring and nuturing, open & so on. Is this because we look up to them as role models of who to ideally become?

However, but aren't we not of the body? Isn't the body a shell and we are always an expression of our spirit. If God wanted to show us that we are NOT our bodies, then why not show up the opposite of expression to prove a point? To prove to us that we are spirit alone and not our bodies?
Heck, this one question is leading to many more questions. I'll stop here and let you all give your thoughts.

Femme-Fatale: Vishnu is Supreme Being. I'm talking about Hinduism.

Oh, Please... There are no 'Gods' and sexual reproduction has been here for ~1,200,000,000 years.

In the holy book of Islam Al Qur'an God spoke that Allah the only one God created humans in genders men and women for propagation or multifying the humans in this world.God have instructed humans to love and help each other and do not make a destruction and bloodshed on this earth
.Everyone should be the leader and make a prosperous cummuniies.But God also created satans or iblis whose works are tempting all humans to do the wrong doings.So there are no peace in this world..They attacked each other and made war.They killed each other and make misery.Humans are greedy and could not control their lust or desires well because of satan's temptation.God has no physical body and can not be seen.But God is exist.God can easily see us.God is assisted by so many angelsIn islamic teaching there is no reincarnation.All humans will die and never come back.In resurrection day God will wake up all the deads and live again.All humans will be taken into God's final court and they wiill be divided into good humans and bad humans.All good humans will enter heaven and live eternally happily.The bad humans and satans will enter hell and they will be punished biterly by very hot fire,water.and stones.

No- Vishnu is God and His gender is male. His eternal consort who He always incarnates with is Female Laxmi. Or Radha Krishna, Sita Rama. God is never without Goddess by His side.So all Male Incarnations incarnate with His Female incarnation by His side. We can't speculate on these topics they are all written in The Vedas in great detail. God has innumerable incarnations and their bodies are eternal not made of any material elements and always existing. Even when lord Gauranga appeared (who is Krishna himself in the Mood and bodily color of His consort Radha He still played the role as a Male but in that incarnation Radha appeared as a male form as Gaddhara to assist Him in His mood. Our material bodies are just a perverted reflection of our eternal spiritual bodies. Their is gender in the Spiritual Eternal Kingdom. Even God has Gender God and Goddess. So we must understand as Pure loving servants of Them we also have gender. This is all written in srimadbhagavatam By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada you can read on line.

gotta say now i'm an atheist yet even i will see the flaw on your arguement ...........in case you beleive he created us (which I dont) if he doesnt recognize us as woman and male why have we've been given such diverse sexual and reproductive structures ........ how come men are no longer havin the babies? He ought to have seen a distinction and recognize it in some unspecified time interior the destiny. till he have been given alzhiemers on the time of dictating the coolest e book to Moses etc!

Look around the earth. To procreate, all species need a male and a female. It is the order of life. Likewise, with man, God's creations require us too to procreate with a male and female. It is part of God's plan and it is part of this world. Male and female is simply the way God intended it. Evidence for this is in the world around us.

All I can tell you is to read "Wild at Heart" and "Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldredge.
They give the best defined Christian stance on men and women's roles and why God make us so uniquely different, yet compatable to one another.
And stop bringing other religions into the same frame of reference with God, there is no comparision, nor any other "beings" to exist.

No God sees as only as spirits or souls.This gender thing is our own making.

Who is Vishnu? The Bible doesn't mention why God made male and female.

Nobody knows God, or anything about God. Everything man thinks they know about God is made-up.
