This barrier should be removed. State education and regulations impose these obsolete concepts and obstruct change. We can each restructure the distribution of our own income to reflect these values. We give them size and power by buying their products. If we don't buy, they don't survive.
Government is the biggest patriarchal institution in our culture.
It is based on the ethic of dominance and control. Reject the culture of government and cooperation will blossom. By removing barriers to trade, travel, and charity. By abandoning the myth of the government safety net. Laws which now dictate our relationships destroy respect, responsibility, and harmony.
