I support patriarchy because I firmly believe that it is a man’s duty to love, respect, cherish, protect, and provide for his wife. It’s a man’s duty to help women in need. It’s a man’s duty to instill independence, strength, and discipline into his children while his wife nurtures them. It’s a man’s duty to not leave women as single mothers. And it’s a man’s duty to protect the honor, integrity, and foundation of his family and homeland by any means necessary. My patriarchy expects men to be men of honor and integrity, unlike the poor excuse of a patriarchy that exists now.

[A lengthy argument ensues on the post]

1. Hold the fuck up: I never stated or even implied that women are property or less than men, I simply stated that men are supposed to provide for them. Not for any of the silly reasons that you’re listing, but because it is the right thing to do.

2. I don’t care if something is a social construct because perhaps it was constructed by society for a reason, in the same way that morality and ethics are both social constructs but aren’t invalid because of it.

3. Traditional gender roles are normal and good. They establish the place of both genders within society and both sides need the other side in order for society to function correctly.

I am curious as to how traditional patriarchy hurts women though, please enlighten me.
