WTF is the patriarchy.

Recently, I have read a lot of feminist blogs - because currenly, I have no job and have a lot of free time on my hands.

Anyway, from reading feminists blogs, I have concluded that the patriarchy, if it exists, is a secret oranisation of men(at least 25% of all men belong to it), who can rape women(from age 0-150) including their own relatives and get away with it. The patriarchy also wants to ban abortion and birth control just because they hate women and want to see them suffer as they try to perform abortions with coathangers. The patriarchy keeps its power by not letting women rise on the corporate latter. The patriarchy restricts entry for women into politics. The patriarchy is a scary and powerful secret society of men which operates above the law, and it exists for the sole purpose of brainwashing and controlling women. Any woman or man who disagrees has fallen victim to the patriarchy.

The patriarchy seems pretty kickass.

A patriarchy is any system where males generally have a higher social standing than the females.

So, basically, every society to exist in the world, ever. Save a small few.

Also - a Matriarchy would be the opposite. Same things the words 'ma' and 'pa' come from.
