Let's try to adopt the more accurate terms 'masculinarchy' or 'mascularchy' ITT, as smashing the patriarchy alone will not address all forms of gender inequality

Only in a very literal sense.

not just in a very literal sense, as it frames, in a universal way, both the heirarchal relationship between men and women, and between men as well. it refers to a great chain of being that encompasses every aspect of society, from domestic life (fathers and their family) to public life (bosses, employers and landlords as father figures) to politics (politicians, kings and dictators as father figures) all the way to the supposed nature of reality itself (God as a father). the gradual, and ongoing, dissolution of the vertical relationship of dependencies created by patriarchy defines modern capitalist society, imho
