I very much agree. I also think that the masculinity of God goes a bit deeper than simple, "We are men, we write the scripture, we rule the world, hence God is a male." When you look at animistic cultures you will notice that earth and physical are associated with female and spirit and "heaven" with male. I would guess that it stems from the naive observation that a man impregnates a woman and is the source of life - for ancients ovum and sperm were unknown while ejaculate was a "palpable" reality (though they certainly acknowledged the necessity of feminine “fertile ground” as being equal to the “creative impulse of the impregnator”).

Similarly, in those cultures spirit animates (endows life to) the physical (mother Earth). Animism was eventually coopted into polytheism for political reasons in order to control and uphold a hierarchic society sometime around 4000 BCE. So, when non-duality (the knowledge of God as "I am") came around two millennia later and got coopted into monotheism (for the very same reasons why animism was coopted into polytheism), the "he" part of God (or Yang) that was relegated to heavenly realms was all that was left from original duality.

But that certainly does not change anything about the outcomes of that charade as you vividly described it.
