The patriarchy refers to a social system in which men hold primary power and dominance in various aspects of society, including politics, economics, and social institutions. In contrast, a matriarchy is a social system where women hold primary power and authority in these domains. While both terms refer to gender-based power structures, they represent opposite ends of the spectrum. It's worth noting that matriarchal societies are rare and have historically been largely speculative or hypothetical.

Who is patriarchy in Romeo and Juliet and is Friar Lawrence patriarchy too?
"Patriarchy" is a word formed from the Greek word "archon" which means "ruler". A mon-archy is a state ruled by one ruler (from the Greek word for one, monos), an olig-archy is a state ruled by the rich, and an-archy is a state without a ruler. From the word "patrus" meaning "father" we get patriarchy, or rule by fathers, just as matriarchy is rule by mothers. No character in Romeo and Juliet is named Patriarchy, so it makes no sense to ask "Who is patriarchy?" Patriarchy is not a person, nor is it an adjective so you cannot ask whether Friar Lawrence is patriarchy any more than we can ask whether he is distance. Is Verona a patriarchy? Likely.
