Patriarchy is a feminist myth. Western culture has always been accommodating to women - this goes back to the Romans who allowed their women to walk around with unveiled faces, in contrast to some of the Greeks. Juvenal, the first century AD poet, satirised women who cut their hair short, liked to show off at hunting boars with spears, and engaged all all manner of female empowerment. Then we had the early Germanic peoples, as recorded by Tacitus among others, where the women had a lot of power, in contrast to Middle Eastern peoples. Modern feminism developed precisely because Westerners have always allowed women a lot of latitude, tending towards pedestalisation. See also, chivalry.

What we do have now, though, is an environment very hostile to men and especially white men. This has been engineered for various reasons, taking advantage of the innate niceness and reasonableness of western men. The fight didn't start with 2010-era SJWs, or 1990s or 1970s feminists, but was essentially lost before I was born and I'm older than many here, being an Xer. The cultural war has been lost, and as individuals we have to find our own foxhole and niche where we can survive and thrive. It can be done, but we (white men) will likely remain the new niggers - and I mean that not as anti-black but as indication of where white men are in reality on the social totem pole- for our lifetimes.
