I know this wasn't entirely your point but I wanted to point out that this statement is not true. In the original concept God was not defined as male or female and a lot of religions stressed the point that giving God a sex, a name or any other human characteristic is dangerous and lessons 'his' greatness. The patriarchal nonsense came much later than the founding ideas.
