What's it analogous to?

From what I heard, his creatorship and otherness. Pantheistic religions so I hear, refer to god as mother because we are corporally within god. But this is not pantheistic. So, father.

So the writers of the Bible used "He" for god because they looked around at other religions and saw that there were a lot of pantheistic religions that had a female god, and thought, "what's a good analogy for being differentiated from those folks"?

Good theory. Nothing to do with the misogyny by which god's wife or the female followers of Jesus were left out, except to admonish anyone who recognises them?
