Our hormones are different. Our brains are built in a different way. Most of the socialization that has gone on over the ages has created gender differences that have been set up to support and nurture the positive differences, and to help us work together. What we call "patriarchy" should really be called "The pre-modern human survival system". It started out because life was very difficult and because males and females were built differently and had different responsibilities in order to ensure human survival. Females had to have kids every year in order for the culture to survive. They were losing six, eight, nine kids out of twelve. They took control of a community's inner circle; the men took control of the community's connection with outer environment, other tribes, intertribal commerce, and so on. The males dominated the social system, the females dominated the family system
