This term, while obvious in meaning,
doesn't quite explain the entire social
structure of a patriarchy; usually, it
is limited to a society where "men control
women." While this is accurate, a better
definition is "a society in which men control the
women, and a small number of those same men (say, 2%)
control the majority of other men."
