I've already given an explanation. I've got links as well, among the most well known is "She Who Is" by catholic theologian Elizabeth Johnson. "Models of God" by Sallie McFague. Link to a podcast that discusses how "El Shaddai" was wrongly translated as "Almighty God" and that El Shaddai can indicate God as a mother at the 46 minute mark. Here's a link to the wikipedia page on it. You can google "Jerome Almighty God translation" with google scholar and see the academic work for yourself. The burden of proof is on you. You can't sweep it under the rug to maintain male dominated imagery of God that you prefer.
EDIT for link.
First of all, I want to say that I do not believe that logic is superior to emotion. They are equal from my point of view, and I think God endowed humans with both of them so that we can use them together to better discern our world. One of the most powerful verses in the Bible is John 11:35 - "Jesus wept." Even though Jesus logically knew that He could heal Lazarus, He was still overcome with emotion with the humanity in the grief of Lazarus' friends. If Jesus cries and gets emotional, then we sure can too.
Moving on, I should say that I'm a feminist, and while I can appreciate and respect other theologies that have different roles for women, I oftentimes find them to be incompatible with my personal beliefs.
I believe that women and men are spiritually equivalent. In our physical reality, there are differences in what we can do. Men tend to be stronger, and women can give birth. But our spiritual souls transcend our physical reality, and our souls are equal in the eyes of the Lord. We are spiritually equivalent. Rebecca Groothuis has a great discussion of this in her book, found here: https://www.amazon.com/Good-News-Women-Biblical-Equality/dp/0801057205
Some Christians will disagree with the following, but I believe that because women are spiritually equal to men, we are also equal in our capabilities of spiritual leadership. (The Apostle Paul seems to disagree with this notion... not sure if this is the place to get into that, but I can discuss it if needed).
Another interesting discussion of women in Christianity can be found in Sally McFague's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Models-God-Sallie-McFague/dp/0800620518/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1521686251&sr=1-1&keywords=models+of+god
Basically, being a woman is just as fine and dandy as being a man from my point of view.
