This is what patriarchy sells to women: protection. Women do anything, but men are very important, because they defend them. The fear against other men keep men in families, in fact keep women working for them.
What we see in the movie below happens in Asia, not only in Africa and other cultures. This picture is described by Jared Diamond (an author and scientist, author of Why Is Sex Fun?) and even some Asian politicians (Aung san suu kyi). Diamond asks himself in the mentioned book: what are men useful for? And guess what: he cannot answer. Men have bare hands in order to defend their families, if they get attacked.
This is a kind of protection tax, what mafia asks for business owners. The patriarchal family is based on a huge protection tax women pay, Patriarchy is a criminal organization.
