Detailed Solution

Patriarchy is a system where the father is the head of the family.
Patriarchy literally means the rule of the father. Thus, it is a system in which the father, is head of the family. He makes all decisions in the family. The ideology tries to justify and explain that the dominance of males is due to the inherent natural differences between males and females. The ideology extends beyond the family to the public sphere which has resulted in the unequal treatment of women in society.
