Well, at least in the original Hebrew (or Aramaic, or whatever), I believe that God is assigned a gender-neutral pronoun. So, instead of calling God "Him" or "Her", God would simply be "It". The people who translated the Bible lived in patriarchal societies by and large, and therefore would have chosen to assign God a male gender. The short answer here is that God is neither male nor female, at least as far as the original text is concerned.

Excuse me?
God is The Creator. God created Women, how would He be a woman? How would He be like anything He created?
Does Henry Ford look like a car to you, metaphoracally speaking?
He is neither. He is unlike anything you can ever imagine. And the usage of He is a generalisation, because the language of man is too poor to describe Him.

Why do you think God is limited and finite? If you would think about it women are only one side of the genetics where as men have both sides therefore since God is infinite it would be more appropriate to use a term that implies both sides.

I am Christian. The Bible describes God the Father as spirit and always uses the mascline tense like "He" and "Him".
God the Son is Jesus Christ who is fully God and fully man.
God the Holy Spirit is spirit.

I am Christian. God is not a woman. But Wisdom is. She was at the right hand of God when he created the foundations of Earth.

Why would God have any sort of genetalia? Can we wrap our minds around the possibility that God transcends gender and other physical, human attributes?

Muslim: God is genderless, neither a man nor a woman.

I don't know if God has a gender but I do think that it is wrong not to include femininity in the divine.
