Aside from the aesthetic reason, "of the female form rather than the male", which is so pleasing for us females, for a change, the feminine is always equated with matter or the material world, which can be measured, as opposed to the masculine, spirit, which cannot.

Isn't Mut the great mother goddess of the ancient Egyptians? The wife of Amen? Amen being the end of spirit's journey into form or matter, so to speak.
