You sound pretty sure it's not.
But let me point out that God created Adam first not Eve. He created a man. No that was not cultural since no humans existed
Was it a cultural thing to refer to gods as "father" only? No. There were many female goddesses.
As I said, God identified Himself as "Father".
Despite priestesses and Queens ruling nations in the culture of the day, God declared the priest to be a male and the king to be a male.
