The media image of men is strikingly bad, for sure. I think strong fathers actually create independence. The modern state is a smothering nanny. A normal and natural father is always trying to stand everybody up on their feet and give them as much independence as they can handle.

That's why breaking down the father was the critical step. By demonizing fatherhood and calling it tyranny, they broke down his natural, healthy authority to protect the people who depend on him.

Then women and children became dependent on the state instead and the state assertied it's authority over everything that used to belong to the family.

But, of course, the state actually can't take care of them (or love them) so then it had the perfect excuse to enslave men, so that women and children could depend on them *through* the state.

"Patriarchy" is just a word they used to demonize the family by demonizing men to centralize all the power.
