In the Divine, there is neither male nor female yet there is both. To argue which is first or which is superior is, quite literally, a chicken and egg argument. The feminine gives birth to the son who espouses the feminine as bride who again gives birth to the son in the eternal heiros gamos. The feminine is maid, mother and spouse, as the masculine is son, father and spouse. There is unity in this duality, but there is not eternal dominance. "AGAIN Jesus taught them saying, God hath raised up witnesses to the truth in every nation and every age, that all might know the will of the Eternal and do it, and after that, enter into the kingdom, to be rulers and workers with the Eternal, 2. God is Power, Love and Wisdom, and these three are One. God is Truth, Goodness and Beauty, and these three are One. 3. God is Justice, Knowledge and Purity, and these three are One. God is Splendour, Compassion and Holiness, and these three are One. 4. And these four Trinities are One in the hidden Deity, the Perfect, the Infinite, the Only. 5. Likewise in every man who is perfected, there are three persons, that of the son, that of the spouse. and that of the father, and these three are one. 6. So in every woman who is Perfected are there three persons, that of the daughter, that of the bride, and that of the mother and these three are one; and the man and the woman are one, even as God is One 7. Thus it is with God the Father-Mother, in Whom is neither male nor female and in Whom is both, and each is threefold, and all are One in the hidden Unity. 8. Marvel not at this, for as it is above so it is below, and as it is below so it is above, and that which is on earth is so, because it is so in Heaven. 9. Again I say unto you, I and My Bride are one, even as Maria Magdalena, whom I have chosen and sanctified unto Myself as a type, is one with Me; I and My Church are One. And the Church is the elect of humanity for the salvation of all. 10. The Church of the first born is the Maria of God. Thus saith the Eternal, She is My Mother and she hath ever conceived Me, and brought Me forth as Her Son in every age and clime. She is My Bride, ever one in Holy Union with Me her Spouse. She is My Daughter, for she hath ever issued and proceeded from Me her Father, rejoicing in Me. 11. And these two Trinities are One in the Eternal, and are strewn forth in each man and woman who are made perfect, ever being born of God, and rejoicing in light, ever being lifted up and made one with God, ever conceiving and bringing forth God for the salvation of the many. 12. This is the Mystery of the Trinity in Humanity, and moreover in every individual child of man must be accomplished the mystery of God, ever witnessing to the light, suffering for the truth, ascending into Heaven, and sending forth the Spirit of Truth And this is the path of salvation, for the kingdom of God is within." Gospel of the Holy Twelve Lection 66: 1-12

Further, the church fathers of the Patristic Age preferred the male "Logos" when describing Christ in order to avoid gender confusion. Philo, who at first equated Sophia with Logos, "substituted Logos for Sophia, until the masculine person of the Logos has taken over most of Sophia's divine roles including the firstborn image of God, the principle of order and the intermediary between God and humanity. Sophia's powers are restricted and she is limited to Heaven.

The "Word," (feminine) who also had a Greek counterpart in Logos; (In the beginning) The same can also be said of the Spirit which is spoken of in Hebrew by a word of feminine gender, ruach ("wind" or "breath"), and translated into Greek in the neuter gender as pneuma .
