Excellent point; Blaming "The Patriarchy" (leaving aside the question of to what degree it might actually exist) for every social condition is absurdly reductionist to the point of being obviously incorrect; it pretends that women throughout history have had no social influence whatsoever. If men were really responsible for every social institution, we certainly wouldn't have the "settle down and give up all your personal interests so as to more effectively fund your wife and children" phase in the archetypal male life.
