Would a female run religion be different?

Assume that modern religion is based on subconscious male ideas and biases towards sexuality.  Man should be responsible for a female, he should own the female by marrying her and having her as his property, he should make sure she stays loyal to him, she should be faithful to him, etc.  Now if females made their own religion, would these rules be different?  Would the female psychology have a drastically different effect on religion if religion was primarily based on female priests and scribes?  Are there religions that do feel like female psychology has a stronger emphasis?

 I'm fairly certain that, in this theoretical religion's creation story, one of the days would have been dedicated to the creation of shoes.

In all seriousness, I believe some Pagan religions are feminine.

Look at the religions that have already done it. There have been a few although not very many are alive today.
