The obelisk predates Masons and Catholics. They both derive the same symbol from a similar source: a tradition of Esoteric teaching only evident to the initiated. The obelisk is a phallic symbol.
While the Masons use it, its use here by the Catholics has nothing to do with Masonism.
I love your reference to a feminine universe and as to maleness, look to Time. It's linear by nature and only goes one way.
