Reminds me of various Buddhist dieties or sub-dieties who were once male and are now female, or vice-versa.
In the Buddhist case, it's because they were assimilated into the religion when it moved into an area and took over as the predominant religion.

Given the way women are, at the very least, marginalized throughout the bibble, there's no way god was a female type. That would be ridiculous.
