> our patriarchal society's

Sorry to be anal about it, but (assuming you're from a Western country) the society is anything but patriarchal.

"Patriarchy is a social system in which males [...] occupy roles of political leadership, moral authority and control of property, and where fathers hold authority over women and children"
