It is true that traditionally God and Christ have been predominantly associated with the male gender and masculine principle (a "He"), at least in the West.

Bahá'u'lláh's "First Vision" Account
Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892) was the founder of the Bahá'í Faith. In 1863 he announced that he was the fulfillment of a messianic prophecy given by the Báb in 1845.

The vision was of a heavenly Maiden who he said gave him his mission as a messenger of God, or Manifestation of God, as had been prophesied by the Báb.
