I tend to go with an evolutionary psychological explanation for the origins of patriarchy - thinking of the other apes.

And the tendency for them to be patriarchal when there is competition & conflict & matriarchal when there isn't - very simplistically.

But I have mostly researched how Christian culture has rationalised & moralised about this & how women have subverted it.
