Many of the ancient deities are female, and all of them are false gods. Yeah because in the entire history of the human race, it is unthinkable that the infinite God would appear in female form to help or teach anyone.
Sheesh.

How God chose to reveal Himself in terms of gender is not up to you or me. Obviously God is beyond biological. So there must be something beyond biological about Him being the Father. If one accepts the Judeo-Christian Scriptures as the benchmark for how to think about God, there aren't any justifications for goddess worship, either small g or big g. Of course, if one is into goddess worship, there are usually quite a few other points of difference from Christianity, so discussing His mode of self-revelation in terms of gender probably comes downstream from first deciding whether Christianity is true.
