No1s been able to give me example of patriarchy in the US w/out changing meaning to a)Men & women make different choices or b)assholes exist
You made the claim. It doesn't stand up to observation. Intrasexual competition is a driver but this doesn't demand patriarchal oppression.

I mean that humans are no more cooperative than competitive. Both are observable.

Yes, stability helps. Brings out the liberal in us. See Haidt.

I don't think patriarchy is oppressive necessarily or immoral. And we're as cooperative as competitive.

Then I'm afraid you've lost me. You mean every time you destroy one patriarchy another one springs up, and that's a *good* thing?

As I understand patriarchy is amoral.

But in your previous tweet you said "I don't think patriarchy is ... necessarily ... immoral". Having a hard time grasping your point.
