You're making it more complicated than it is really....
....from the dictionary (and notice the date):
Main Entry: pa\ufffdtri\ufffdar\ufffdchy
Pronunciation: -"\ufffdr-kE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -chies
Date: 1632
1 : social organization marked by the supremacy of the father in the clan or family, the legal dependence of wives and children, and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line; broadly : control by men of a disproportionately large share of power
2 : a society or institution organized according to the principles or practices of patriarchy
Tell me the definitions above aren't tightly tied to the principles spouted by those who want to push "family values". No false premises here; only a strong knowledge of reality and the will to want to improve women's lives.
