The truth is that, from either a religious or atheist view, women were made so that they could be dominated by men. Attempts to bypass that truth result in negative population growth and the eventual demise of the species.

PS: There's a female colleague of mine that I really, really want this guy to meet. She would tie him into a pretzel and then use him for shuffleboard practice.
India has traditionally been a rather Patriarchal society....
....but even their native spiritual tradition....Sanatana Dharma aka "Hinduism"....image image image image image
Finally; Generally being a little bit taller with a tad more upper-body strength does not mean "superior in every way".
Wanna be a Real Man of awesome Prime Masculinity? Embrace the Feminine and Gals in general as equal to you....Only then will your Masculinity have merit.
MASCULINITY IS EQUAL TO FEMININITY....PROVIDED THAT MASCULINITY ACCEPTS THE FEMININE AS EQUAL TO ITSELF AND JUST AS AWESOME.
Otherwise....it becomes inferior.
In regards to "Traditional Masculinity"....Caballerismo trumps Machismo, big-time. Caballerismo + Feminism = AWESOME!
From the main religious viewpoint I know (Christianity, and kind of vaguely as I haven't read the Bible in a while), women weren't made to be dominated by men at all. They were made because (to simplify it) Adam was lonely, so God made woman from him. And while the Bible can be quite sexist (as it was written such a long time ago), the example of the Wife of Noble Character runs her own business along with taking care of the home, so it's not as cut and dry as you might think.

Then there's Deborah the First Judge of Israel....a strong woman and mouthpiece for the Almighty....strategist, teacher, prophet, leader of armies!
Also, there's women like Jael, Judith and Esther.

This argument rests on at least two false promises: that biology views humans as created and that cultural settings like patriarchy rest on science.

So your motivation appears to be existential fear? The planet is already overpopulated and we're depleting its resources, it's not like we're in mythical Eden. And non-misogynists, non-patriarchalists, still reproduce, usually with a higher quality of life.
Confused?
