No, I don't know this. Can you show me any position of power women cannot attain? Any legal power men have over us?

I'm English. It looks like Clinton is going to win tho. There is no system which restricts her. Attitudes might.

Patriarchy has a very specific meaning which is different to sexism or misogyny. Its a power structure.

genuine question: if there are X disadvantages for men, and X+1 for women, does that qualify as patriarchy?

Only if the +1 is a legal power men have over women.

so what do you call a movement that focuses on fighting culturally for women's rights more because they are more disadvantaged?

You can call it whatever you want. Generally people who come at it from women's perspective are called feminists in the west.
