C.S. Lewis said that “God is so masculine, that He makes all of creation seem feminine in comparison.”

Nice quote. Do you have the source that is cited from?

I paraphrased it from one of the best books I have ever read, and that every conservative should read, I think. It's the third book in Lewis's Space Trilogy and it's called That Hideous Strength. The book touches on science, and modern-day fascism, and marriage, and angels, and Arthurian mythology, and God. It's a weird-sounding mix, but the whole trilogy was a fun read.

Here's the passage.

But she had been conceiving this world as "spiritual" in the negative sense -- as some neutral, or democratic, vacuum where differences disappeared, where sex and sense were not transcended but simply taken away. Now the suspicion dawned upon her that there might be differences and contrasts all the way up, richer, sharper, even fiercer, at every rung of the ascent. . . . "Yes," said the Director, "There is no escape. . . . You are offended by the masculine itself: the loud, irruptive, possessive thing -- the gold lion, the bearded bull -- which breaks through hedges and scatters the little kingdom of your primness as the dwarfs scattered the carefully made bed. The male you could have escaped, for it exists only on the biological level. But the masculine no one of us can escape. What is above and beyond all things is so masculine that we are all feminine in relation to it. You had better agree with your adversary quickly".
"You mean I shall have to become a Christian?" said Jane.
"It looks like it", said the Director.
