Not technically, no. This wld not be an example of a society in which men have all the power unless they did that first &then made that rule
-
That wld be an example of a law which disadvantaged women but if brought about by men &women (& more pro-lifers are women) not patriarchy
-
Ah, OK. So a "patriarchy" inaugurated by men and women working together (a la Handmaid's Tale) wouldn't count?

Women can work to support patriarchal societies but not from a position of power within them or it isn't one.

This isn't cut & dry. When Elizabeth I ruled, England still a patriarchy & rhetoric had to be spouted abt how she wasn't really a woman
-
There can be some female figureheads but patriarchy can still exist 4 main part if the system still set up for men to be in charge of women
-
eg In the 60s my mother cld vote but cldn't get mortgage or loan w/out male consent (guarantor) coz men still responsible for wives debts

Patriarchy doesn't mean 'assholes exist.' It means a system of society in which men have all ruling power & women are denied access to it.

Women aren't denied power under 'patriarchy'. Free yourself of this cancerous theory, there's women in power everywhere
-
They are denied ruling power or it isn't a patriarchy. I'm writing abt this now & academically focus on the kind of power women had under it

Often a thing that encompasses all actions explains nothing in a sense. Everything gets named as aspects of patriarchy - it will never end.
