No its not. Not all masculine gods are orderly and not all female ones are chaotic. Demetre was ordered. Kingu represented a chaotic water nature.

Yes, but your unscientific and slightly sexist interpretation of natural phenomena are appropriate targets for our disfavor.

No, genetic differentiation and copy error works because of random aspects, evolution is a relativelly orderly process, as Dawkins points out.

Traditionally, in many cultures, women weave (order natural fibers, which is trully a non-chaotic endevor), raise the children, clean, cook natural foods to be humanly consumable, perform healing magic (witches etc and illness was often seen as chaotic), perform the work of mediums or seers (Witch of Endor or the prophetess that King Josiah consults in the temple), take care of animals, work in the fields, and many other things. While we in modern society no longer consider things such as cooking and cleaning women's work (at least I think we shouldn't), they have been traditionally in many societies. These are all ordered, and anti-chaotic endeavors.

Men go to war traditionally, perhaps the most chaotic and non-ordered action in some cultures. Death, the most unknown and disordered aspect, can be seen in such deities as Mot, a male figure.

That is just apologetics against obvious cases that show your idea unsuportable
