Authority for men, for the male specie, is always an absolute artifice. Male authority is systemic. As a man, you either have authority through a social position and identity, or you do not. If you have male authority, then it becomes representative for all other people. This is important, as this observation marks the primary behavioral difference by gender in the human specie.
A woman's "authority" is relativistic, and represents specific individuals or groups. It is always weaker than male authority. The position of an alpha figure, like "God", cannot be feminine for this reason. If authority isn't absolute, then it is rejected by the male specie as a possibility.
This marks a difference between moral absolutism [the philosophy of objectivity]
Versus moral relativism [the philosophy of subjectivity]
Moral absolutes, which are founded on purely logical axioms, created and imposed by philosophers throughout the ages, are unknown to women as an abstraction or ideal. It seems to appear from nothing, ex nihilo, as if a random creation or compulsion. This merely represents a lack of knowledge and awareness about the nature of authority, and power between individual persons.
Boys are groomed into these absolutist positions of systemic power, representing dogma and tradition, fundamentalism. Girls, females, are excluded from this degree of authority, by comparison, by males, as a compensation for biological differences between the genders, especially mental and neural differences.
These biological differences, including differences of brain structure, have evolved out of specialization of tasks based on gender. Despite the best attempts by Judeo-Christianity and feminism to destroy, denounce, and change these "gender norms", all that has been done is a reaffirmation of their same premises, with an exaggerated and accelerated negative effect, to further increase male authority and power as a whole.
Since male authority is absolute, and revolves around moral absolutism [universal laws, such as physics and math], any relativistic "increase" in power, by anyone, automatically "increases" the maximum power of any potential authority.
Potential authority, an aspect of maleness, observed in young boys, who regress and withdraw from society, with extreme levels of doubt, paranoia, and nihilism, to resist the emasculating and pride destroying mechanisms, inherent within Judeo-Christian-Western societies.
In these "humanistic" cultures, the idea of "God" is always in the background, as a justification for breaking any threatening challenges to the dominant social trends. Humanists still use these Judeo-Christian mechanisms, based on often fallacious logical reasoning [irrationality], to denounce maleness in general, and complete reject possibilities for pride in any man who deems himself worthy of pride, adoration, or even significance above women.
