Historical misogyny and the fact that the Jewish monotheistic concept originated from a few local polytheistic male gods being combined and elevated to a preeminent position. Yahweh used to have a wife named Asherah.

sure, but i feel like the most overarching themes that god embodies is the unconditional love and that fact he created us, which both seem very obviously feminine and motherly to me

i really like the way you explained that, that makes perfect sense. if i recall correctly, the religion the israelites practiced before official judaism had both a female and male counterpart for god, so maybe it was a little bit more like i imagined at first, but maybe the form god needed to take to instruct/prepare humanity came thru in a more masculine way
