This is only a tiny fraction of the accomplishments of human kind under what you call patriarchy. If all men realise they do a terrible job of ruling our world, and are ashamed of how we have messed up the world. Any rational woman would seek to avoid that sort of outcome yet regardless, women have always taken the brunt of brutality from men and the culturally patriarchal encouragement of their own disposability, indeed women supported it, but they damn well didn't create it, hierarchal culture as well as firmly constructed gender roles have been defended by patriarchal men for centuries, any woman who dared to question suffered extreme consequences. 3.

As for me generalizing. I would agree that women can be brainwashed into intolerance by patriarchal doctrines. Again you can have a small minority of women who are violent but they are far outnumbered by men. This was a extreme case of blatant sexism against female scientists.

In other words, women who try to get ahead in any patriarchal institution, has to act and behave like competitive and ruthless men, because if she was to show her caring and maternal nature, she would be condemned as being weak and sentimental. Because women enact their competitiveness and violence in an indirect way, where they do not face the risks involved in enacting one's own violence and competition, there is a moral hazard in putting women in charge of how and when said violence is dispensed.
