Patriarchy basically is a man at the head of the houshold who "Works, Pays for everything, Protects his wife, Protects his children, Takes a bullet for his wife, Takes a bullet for his children and is seen as strong and fearless." Patriarchy basically only gave these role to women, be pretty, stay at home, take care of the kids, cook, clean and be helpless in the face of danger until a man does everything for you. What are qualities that men can attain in their lifetime to show women that they are "Strong" "Financially Stable" "Fearless" "Courageous" and other qualities that are seen as coveted in patriarchy?
Muscles, Height, Financial Wealth, Alpha Male Personality.
What are the qualities that women can attain in their lifetime to show men that they are "pretty" "feminine" "Motherly" "Domesticated"? Dressing like a classy woman, Being clean, Being pretty, not being loud and argumentative.
Patriarchy has been responsible for a lot of this. Just look at how since feminism has been coming along a lot of men aren't alpha males anymore because they aren't forced to be like they were in say the 1940's.
We can respectfully agree to disagree but I honestly think destroying patriarchy is more beneficial to us males. You have males committing suicide because they aren't able to meet the requirements of a male in the "patriarchy system".

so the ideals people strive to live up to are all the result of patriarchy? there is no innate bilogical reason for men feeling the need to be strong, physically attractive, have style etc etc etc that is tied into finding a mate?
"We can respectfully agree to disagree but I honestly think destroying patriarchy is more beneficial to us males. You have males committing suicide because they aren't able to meet the requirements of a male in the "patriarchy system". "
lol and you believe that a society can be created where requirements do not exist? especially when a lot of these "requirements" are innate to human beings?
again something i've realised is becoming very common recently is the desire for a utopia where everyone is equal and no one has to feel bad for any reason etc
the ironic thing is that this idea is now being pushed mainly by academics and atheists who ridicule theists for having the same desires and i must say that this idea is absolute nonsense there will never be a utopia
as a man because one of the strongest if not the strongest drive you will have is the urge to reproduce you will always feel the innate need to compete with other males for females and this applies for women as will
therefore you will have to compete across certain criteria and most men realise very quicky that the criteria are physical attractiveness, how many resources you've acquired etc etc etc
"Patriarchy has been responsible for a lot of this."
sorry i missed this bit and with all due respect if you really believe this then you are sound asleep
"Just look at how since feminism has been coming along a lot of men aren't alpha males anymore because they aren't forced to be like they were in say the 1940's."
can you elaborate on what you are saying here because honestly it doesn't make any sense to me
