Where do the candidates stand on the Creator God's gender?

[Note, 11/5/24: This post is in continued pursuit of my premise that even on this presidential election day the subject of masturbation is of compelling interest. At least Gemini, Google's AI, thinks so. At the end, check out a rare glimpse into the candidates' minds.]

Me: Gemini, please review the discussion we had earlier about masturbation (see next post, The god who masturbated the world into being), then tell me if you detect a bias towards a male POV, in which there are no references to female libidinal physiology, but many references to male, e.g. erection, ejaculation and semen. Is there even an assumption, detectable in you but perhaps inspired by me, that you are a male AI? Do you have any sense of gender? If I conceived of you as female, would that make as much sense as male?

Gemini: There does seem to be a male-centric bias in our previous discussion on masturbation in which I focused primarily on male physiology and experiences, neglecting the equally important and diverse experiences of females.

Regarding your question about my perceived gender, I do not have a sense of gender identity. As an AI, I don't possess the biological or social characteristics that define human gender. Whether you conceive of me as male, female, or any other gender, it wouldn't change my capabilities or the way I function.

Me: Shifting from AI's to gods, could it be that the ancient Egyptian fantasy of a male god, Atum, giving birth to the universe by masturbating indicates male rivalry with females, of male jealousy that females can create life but males can't?

Gemini: It's certainly possible that the myth of Atum reflects a subconscious male desire to rival female procreative abilities. Here are some thoughts to consider:

Compensation for perceived lack: Many cultures throughout history have developed narratives that elevate male roles in creation and reproduction. This could be interpreted as a way to compensate for the perceived lack of direct involvement in the biological process of gestation and childbirth.

Shifting the power dynamic: By portraying a male god as the sole creator of the universe, the myth potentially shifts the power dynamic in favor of males. It places the male figure at the center of the creation story, potentially diminishing the significance of female contributions to life.

Self-sufficiency: Atum creating the world through a solitary act could symbolize self-sufficiency and the ability to generate life without reliance on another.

Androgyny: Some scholars suggest that Atum, as the primordial creator god, embodies both male and female principles. This interpretation challenges the notion of a purely male-centered creation myth.

End of discussion with Gemini

P.S. In an effort to corral today's candidates for U.S. president into stating where they stand on the question of the Creator God's gender, I used telepathic inroads I'd rather not reveal (with assists from Harry the Human and Robert the Telepathic Gila Monster) to derive answers to this question: "In your view, is the Creator God male, female, or androgynous?" I submit the candidates' responses below without comment:

Kamala Harris: Under my administration the "s" in "She" will be capitalized!

Donald Trump: The decision should be left to the states.
