Why is God portrayed as male?

In Bible, There is a description of 'God is self-existence one'. Name of God is Jehovah. But, the gender of God is unclear. Well, As Christianity, It is ridiculous to distinguish God is male or female. However, In sociological view,  Picture of male-portrayed God reflected times. At that time, It is common that male is more superior than female. Mostly, males have more rights and chances than females. People think God is powerful and superior. So, They never think God as female because of images which females have.
