I just realized that most patriarchal cultures have male Gods and matriarchal cultures have female Goddesses.
Early prehistoric and historical people's creator often took the form of a female. In most myths the creator is feminine.
In some mythology as the society became patriarchal the goddess was overtaken by a god. Sometimes just the sex of the deity would change.
Some Native American cultures attribute creation to Mother Earth. Some cultures worship the "Queen of Heaven."
Maybe creation was based on females giving birth. In their eyes, that is where creation came from.
