Maybe some primitive ones. But the guys have the power in the modern world and I'm certain the vast majority of primitive societies are also patriarchal.
Not where I live. If I was a woman, I have the power to wake up tomorrow and point at any random person and claim he has harassed me then that person will immediately be jailed, the burden of proof is on the guy to prove he didn't do anything, that's just one example of law unfairly giving way too much power over. A social based example would be, like for example if a family of various father, 3 kids and mother is out somewhere and suddenly rain starts pouring the socially approved thing to do is first make the the mom has a umbrella then the daughters, then the sons and lastly the father, it's a rare sight to see a lady drenched with a guy nearby with a umbrella but it's the norm to see the reverse. A commissioner or some other top official got a suspended transfer for "accidently" touching a women with his elbow, cops(men) have no authority to so much as touch women, in fact it's a common tactic to have a woman on the back seat of the bike so that cops don't pull you over for no helmet or other required papers. 🤣
Wait, don't you live in India? And isn't that an especially patriarchal society?
