I think when you are talking about somebody else's belief system you should be a bit more respectful. Hindu mythology is intricate, self sufficient and quite vast. No need to fit it in your idea of how it should be. Besides, you do not have sufficient knowledge to decide the need of practicality.
Brahma is not female either and Vishnu is not counted as someone in between.
Hindy belief has plenty of space for female power- There is Shakt sect for it. Goddess Kali, Goddess Durga Goddess Tara etc are there if someone wants female deity. She is either treated as equal or better. Do not feminize male god symbols for Her.
In fact, when the gods fail to solve a problem they go to goddess for help. Rama, believed to be incarnation of Vishnu, worshipped Goddess Durga ( Famous Shakti Puja) before his battle with Asura king Ravana.
Goddess Kali appeared when Gods were unable to face another Asura Raktbeej. She fought him for them. After the fight She was still too angry so they asked lord Shiva's help to calm her. Shiva went but he didnt fight her excatly. She was supposed to be incarnation of His wife Parvati (benevolent one) especially to fight Raktbeej. So He just lay down in Her path. When She was walking angrily it's said that She stepped on him. She looked down and saw who was there; she was taken aback and calmed down.
There are plenty of discussions in Hindu philosophy over the topic of God's form etc. God is He or She is not a new debate/idea among HIndus. The concept never died. Hinduism never completely rejects any ideology. It starts from polytheism and turns into monotheism. From symbolism and idol worship to quite abstract and philosophical. It compromises and assimmilates the different concepts. - that's how it survived for centuries.
You are the one putting on the suit of discussion. And yes I am respectful, whatever you`d like that to be, and if by any case you feel I wast, then sorry, for theology discussions brief to a theology forum.
regarding my interpreatation of hindu beliefs and applying into Naruto issues, I used them because Misashi Kishimoto isn`t the first neither isn`t going to be the last Jpaanese artist using them not as reference , but suirely as source of inspiration for what he is developing as the story of a manga.
for further reference, hit rinnegan references on google, so as Narutos training with Be and please be polite and clever enough, as on to check the statues Bee pointed out Naruto before and during their training. be kind enough to analyze the shape and order of them, adn if you have enough knowledge(visual) relate them to obvious hindu handcrafts.
Getting to the gender issue..
Aware that believers so as newly introduced herds to Hindu theology, might find confusing my brief scheming of the earlier, meditate, about the constant emphasis in which the Indina Continent religion puts on balance. Being this into taken further all the way to their main Gods. And gender assumption.
Sorry, by kno I haven`t checked yet the underskirts of gthe earlier mentioned, but I know as a fact, that however you wish to call your game, academically speaking, gids do have gender, so forth they apply into them the same universal laws (according tio believers) given to men.
Easy a guy, a girl, and something...
Very elemental Hindu theology yeah?
And yes, I am nothing but a souless Western who has in fact read all the books Hindus love to quote, but usually have never read, so I feel confident enough to give a brief explanation of their cosmology from a somehow objective view.
Yes I do have the knowledge, so forth i chose to be practical.
By the way, dunno if u knew but Arjuna was thought to be also an incarnation of Krishna, that means Vishnu. Actually all of the classic epic male characters are (to be thought of as krishnas, encarnations of vishnu)
why?
because looong time ago, Krishna wasn`t thought about as a god, but as a title, sucha as emperor, or wise man, or holy man... peple say Krishna was a man teaching women herbs knowledge around India having them as consorts and apprentices
that`s just a tale for you.. the thing is India stopped producing new literature so instead of having 3 Krishnas, or Vishnus, you ended up having 60 mediocre male role model characters to tag as deity, so people, being PRACTICAL gave Rama the incarnation of Vishnu title and leftvthwe others without further quote
Up to know, most holy men in India love calling themselves descendants od that guy.. without knowing, it isn`t a title about the gene pool, but moral value.
