I had never heard that there is a feminine aspect of God in the Judaic/Christian Bible until I was reading an issue of Parabola magazine in a bookstore the other day. I have a sneaking suspicion that those Catholic patriarchal dogma-enforcers are behind this suppression of the feminine aspects of the Christian and Jewish perception of God.
I really don't think that something that created the universe has an XY chromosome or male reproductive organs so I feel like the whole representation of God as being an entity with completely "male" characteristics is absurd and a patriarchal cultural invention.
