One patriarcha is sort of like an exaggerated, I don't know, Western liberal democracy with the sexism that still exists in Western liberal democracies.
So there are two gender roles, blokes and sheilas.
And while these have formal equality under the law, they're treated very differently and they're stereotyped very differently.
