Every Hindu god is made of two basic elements.

They are,

1. Saguna Brahman - the facilitating force. It converts thoughts into actions. It is considered as masculine.

2. Nirguna Brahman - the retarding force. It converts actions into thoughts and finally abolishes them completely. It is considered as feminine.

Even Shiva force is made of these two elements only.

The masculine component of this force is called as Shiva and the feminine component, Parvati.

Thus, Shiva is a male god.
