System of society or government in which the father or eldest male is head of the family and descent is traced through the male line. In these societies, men hold power and women are excluded from it, and masculinity is valued over femininity. It posits a "natural" state of gender relations as a dynamic of dominance and submission, and perpetuates gender roles to enforce these ideals.
The influence of the patriarchy can be seen in the disproportionately high number of men in positions of power, as well as the presence of rape culture and a gender binary.
