Roman society is pretty much the basis for the western world. The Romans are largely the reason for the rampant patriarchy we have today among other things, for instance.
Patriarchy has unfortunately been the majority across the world, it’s nothing to do with the Roman’s and everything to do with physical strength to dominate others.
The Romans very specifically invaded what we today call Britain because the people who lived there were matriarchal. I am Cherokee, my tribe was also matriarchal before white people showed up. In my tribe, traditionally, when you get married your possessions belong to your wife and you join the clan of your wife.
Patriarchy has never been as widespread as patriarchs would like you to believe.

At least their patriarchy came with gay sex ☹️
Hey, the Greeks deserve some mentioning as well.
Until the Christians ruined it :(

But not this one thing, which I see a lot.
That’s a fun read, thanks!
