Why does everyone cling to the masculine imagery and pronouns even though they are a mere linguistic device that has never meant that God is male?

If we do not mean that God is male when we use masculine pronouns and imagery, then why should there be any objections to using female imagery and pronouns as well?

Beliefs and values that have held sway for thousands of years will be questioned as never before.

At first the ancient images of the Goddess did not interest me.

Throughout the years, many Christian women have told me of their great respect for the bravery and courage evident in my work, perhaps even gesturing to their own Isis earrings or a Nile River Goddess pendants.

Theologians frequently assert that God has no body, no gender, no race and no age. Most people state that God is neither male nor female. Yet most people become flustered, upset or even angry when it is suggested that the God they know as Lord and Father might also be God the Mother, or Goddess.

Subversive language, however, must be constantly reinvented, because it is continually being co-opted by the powerful.
