From the wiki "Sometimes the female has her mouth closed, and the male open. This symbolizes the enunciation of the sacred word "om". However, Japanese adaptations state that the male is inhaling, representing life, while the female exhales, representing death".

oh i remember hearing the have genders determined by their mouths being open or closed
though i hear 2 versions
. male has his mouth open to scare bad spirits while females welcome good ones with their mouths closed
. males have there mouths closed to greet spirits females have there mouths open to call spirits to come by and visit 
not TOO sure on that 2nd one but that 1st one i am certain on
