Sociologist Sylvia Walby (1990) explains the overlapping structures that define patriarchy and which take different forms across cultures and times: in the state: it is unlikely that women have formal power and representation, in terms of violence: women are more prone to being mistreated; women are likely to be paid less at work. In culture: women are more poorly represented in the media and popular culture. In 1973, Goldberg (1973) wrote: “Ethnographic studies of every society that have ever been observed explicitly indicate that these feelings were there is literally no variation. » Goldberg has critics among anthropologists. Regarding Goldberg's (1973) assertions about the "feelings of men and women", (Eleanor Leacock responded in 1974) that data on women's attitudes are "sparse and contradictory" and that data on women's attitudes men with regard to male-female relationships are "ambiguous explaining that patriarchy evolved due to historical rather than biological conditions.

This suggests that females place the greatest preference on males who control more resources, which can help them and their offspring, leading to evolutionary pressure on males to be competitive with each other in order to of successfully obtaining resources and power, as well as sexual violence. women, as women, are incapable of defending themselves and religion plays a role in the patriarchy between men and women.
