What did the greek gods think about the differences in masculine and feminine?
Interestingly: Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3. 71 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) : "Teiresias saw two snakes sexually couples in the area of Kyllene, and when he injured them he changed from a man into a woman. Later, seeing the same snakes again mating, he was changed back into a man. Thus, when Hera and Zeus were arguing as to whether men or women enjoy sex more, they put the question to Teiresias. He said that on a scale of ten, women enjoy it nine times to men's one. Whereupon Hera blinded him, and Zeus gave him the power of prophecy."

What were the powers of Greek goddess Maia not what she was goddess of what she could do?
A the "powers" of gods and goddess of ancient people often relayed on what they were "goddess of", it is not done to dismiss such.Maia, mother of Hermes, was daughter of Atlas and Pleione.As such, she is grouped among her sisters, the Pleiades (Ladies of Plenty/Daughters of Pleione) in fact she was the leader and the eldest of them. She dwelt alone in a cave near the peaks of Mount Kyllene (in Arkadia) beside her son Hermes, she raised Arkas - the son of Zeus and Kallisto.Maia, as a goddess of a mountain, was associated strongly with Gaea, and her name is further close to "Mother": Greek goddesses and gods were limited, in short, only to human imagination of their "power": the Pleiades alone were associated with mountain, island, and regional goddesses or the very royal families - star goddesses, and associated also with doves, and mothers, and maidens.The Pleiades also include:Teygata - of the Taygetos Mountains in Lakedaimonia (Laconia), southern Greece (Sparta): her son with Zeus was son Lakedaimon (Lacedaemon).Elektra - of Mount Saon on the island of Samothrake in the north Aegean. Loved by Zeus and bore two sons: Dardanos, ancestor of the Trojan royal family, and Iasion, founder of the Samothrakian Mysteries - a lover of Demeter. She was also entrusted with fostering Aphrodite's illegitimate daughter, Hermonia. Hermonia, in this way, is also called a daughter of Zeus and Elektra.Alkyone - of Mount Kithairon (Cithaeron) in Boiotia (central Greece) loved by the god Poseidon. He had by her: Aethusa - the sons are two, but names disputed: Hyrieus and Lykos or Hyperes and Anthas or Hyrieus and Ephoceus/Epopeus.Asterope/Sterope - of Pisa in Elis (southern Greece). She was loved by the god Ares and bore him Oinomaos (and Euenus). A Sterope is called the wife of Oinomaos, further his mother is then Harpina daughter of Asopus.Kelaino - of the island of Euboia or Mount Kithairon (Cithaeron) in Boiotia: she was the first (rather then Alkyone) who was loved by Poseidon, and her sons are also confused with her sisters: Euphemus, Lycus and Nycteus of the names listed.Merope - married the impious king Sisyphos (Sisyphus) and was ancestress of the Korinthian (Corinthian) and Lykian (Lycian) royal families through her son Glaucus. Of the Pleiades hers is said to be the least visible star - this being accounted for her being "shamed" for her husband - a mortal, but her name means "with face turned", implying modesty, far more likely for she was the only one of her sisters that married.
