The verse Genesis 1:27 'So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them' shows that women, as much as men, are COMPLETELY made in the image of God. THEREFORE the word FATHER must mean much more than MALE.
I guess language has always being a problem when trying to describe God. No language will adequately be able to describe Him. Maybe father was the closest to show His position, His relational love towards us etc etc
