A system of rules that translates to "rule by the father" in which men control the political and economic resources of society.
Man- Hey Margret wanna grab a drink after work?
Margret- sorry I don't have enough to pay for drinks tonight

Margret- ya and I only make 77 cents to your pay. Blame the damn patriarchy.
Man- WTF are you talking about ?!?!? Stupid bitch the patriarchy doesn't exist. You just don't want to get a fucking drink with me cunt
Later Margaret is found dead in her car. Police suspect it to be caused by a random lion who got out of the local zoo because they don't want to blame the real killer

A system which isn't as bad as people think, the only reason why people think it's bad because feminist kept pedalling hatred towards it because somehow their movement failing is because of Patriarchy,

A society where
- men have a disproportionate share of political, economic, and social power;
- men control all systems of representation (religion, "media," literature, etc.) and use them to depict the world from their point of view and marginalize women;
- there are widely shared cultural beliefs that men are more socially valued and more competent than women at most things (e.g., Michael Conway et al., 1996; David Wagner and Joseph Berger, 1997; John Williams and Deborah Best, 1990; and Susan Fiske et al., 2002);
- women are the primary targets of gender violence and men are the primary perpetrators of gender violence;
etc.

All societies are, and always have been, patriarchies.
Those who are uneducated, miseducated, or "masculinists" = "advocates of male superiority or dominance" (Merriam Webster Dictionary Online) should at least TRY to comprehend this simple truth about the great evil aka patriarchy.

A modern form of patriarchy where woke boys appear marching with the flags of token feminism and replace the space of women and others who had been fighting a long battle for gender equality.
The woke boys are trying to snatch the flags from the feminists and leading us to an era of neo-patriarchy.
How about you stop trying to mansplain why she refused to go out with you and go back to your neo-patriarchy?
