The universe doesn't have a sex in that sense. But, it is called Mother Nature because nature is calmed, good, helpful.....and has at least of about 20 other properties which are much more common in women and nearly absent in all men. That is why it can be said to be female, only because it's similarity with females of our species. But it's not itself a female. Anyway, see how it changes, immediately changing "nature" which is female to "god" it becomes male.
