I grew up in the suburbs in Idaho with some pretty intense patriarchy culture. For example, I was explicitly told that women's purpose was to have children, and it was implicitly assumed I would go to college, find a man, and use my college degree to homeschool my children.

Both men and women were conditioned. If you absolve conditioned women of their complicitness, then you must absolve the men too.

The question ‘who is to blame’ is often useless. Everybody started as an innocent baby. ‘What can I do to improve things?’ Is a question with real answers.

Sectional groups aren't to blame as much as the culture is. As being the lone male child to carry on the family name, in a family full of female aunts and cousins, so much had been placed on me to where I've oft thought this family name would be better to die off.

You see this with salafist Muslims as well; most women buy into & uphold the social order. That's the rub; no social system is possible w/o women's support as they are its glue and enforcers. Marxists don't get it due to their slavish devotion to oppressor/oppressed paradigm.
