As soon as we are born we are totally dependent on our parents, and the father usually takes the lead. If we are raised in a Judeo-Christian or Islamic tradition, we are taught to worship "The Father" – and it just goes on from there, unquestioning obedience to authority figures. It's hardwired into us from birth.Thanks for your comment @clicketyclick. That is a very good point. And it has occurred to me before.
