In the bible all angels are listed as men or in a masculine gender or person. In western art, and my favorite Victoria Secret’s marketing programs I see only female angels.
My question is this another error in the bible, or do some Christian angels having a sexual identity problem which they correct by cross dressing?
I've always enjoyed trigonometry and geometry but thus far I have seen very little that correlates the difference between gender and, say, an isosceles triangle. I have, however, seen several cylinders that could be misconstrued as a phallic device but cylinders typically are measured more by radius, diameter, etc... rather than angles. So, I don't really know, you could be onto something though.

LOL....I was going to say something, but didn't want to be accused of being the spelling police....So funny, especially the phallic device part....I suppose that would entirely depend on the angle of the dangle....
As to the intent of the OP instead of the word. Angels are a Persian invention from the Zoroastrian root of the Levant religions. Since there is much sexism in the Levant theology, it isn't surprising that the main demigods which they call angels so they can have a single god, are all male. There is a lot of weirdness in the sexist bible as fundamentally feminine concepts are force fitted into the male dominated theology (like the milk from HIS breasts - how absurd!).
But the Pagan religions embraced both the male and female concepts in their theology and it resonated with most people much more than the Levant religions did. The feminization of angels was most likely the intrusion of Pagan goddesses that the general populace would not forsake despite the threats of death and torture. There was a gradual incorporation of these ancient concepts to rename them and reformulate them into the religion they wanted to force upon the populations.
And your VS models are just a marketing campaign. Sorry to disappoint you.

For sexual angles you should maybe read the Kama Sutra instead of the Bible (heh heh heh).
I was taught (brainwashed) by the Lutheran church to believe that angels were neither male nor female. And this is a very scary idea, actually. Giant flying, harp-playing morphadites (spelling on that word?)

The word is hermaphrodites.
And yes that is pretty weird, tho there are a few organisms that are. Maybe angels are a kind of worm?

Well, considering that they're a fairy tale creature and not real in any sense, they could be anything you imagine.
