You have Son of God. You have God the Father, but no God the Mother, except a mortal named Mary who was the mother of Jesus. What is the gender of the Holy Ghost? And why no daughter of God?

She is Sophia (The Holy Ghost)
Here is a link to a poem about her way back in the days when they knew that the spirit in the members of the Church were the "Bride" of Christ and that's why we're filled with the Sophia.

For some reason, the nature of God is best represented in men. (males)
Female wasnt made until later. But that is not to say that women are not made in Gods image as well. So why didnt Jesus appear as a female? Probably because the authority structure. Also, both Adam and Jesus were the firstborn of their kind. That is a set spiritual and physical order. Why? We dont know.
Scripture teaches that all who become a part of Christ are daughters and sons of God.

Because men wrote it all, just ordinary men, who really didn't have much respect for women...
In those days when the"One True God" was invented, women were far less than 2ND class citizens, so it stands to reason, the least amount of women in the story, the better...
The story was adapted from the ancient Egyptians, anyway...

God does not create God. The Son is a part of the whole of God and is not created. The Holy Spirit is a part of the whole of God. God does not have a gender but is masculine in nature.

Because religion is basically was made by men.....you can see everything is for the pleasure of men.....everything for men.....religion and male gender go hand by hand.This is because men need women to survive.....if they do not enslave a woman they hardly can live a life.so it is important to have rules and regulations to help men

Because the people who invented Christianity liked oppressing women. You'll notice that the Bible seldom talks about daughters when naming who gave birth to whom.

It has to do with Eve being subservient to Adam because she brought him the apple. The leadership role culturally would require a masculine gender to receive acceptance.

I am a literal daughter of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother born first to them as a spirit child and then came down to this earth to receive my feminine body and so is every woman on this planet.

Because God's little cronies (and probably god if there is one) are all sexist - you have clearly not read the part were they call us unclean....
