Patriarchy long predates capitalism. You can find intensive misogyny in Buddhism (which predates Christianity, even), in Hinduism (which may likely predate even Judaism), in “Confucianism” (no such thing, but it’s too complex to get into right now), and indeed through every society in history that organized higher than the clan level.
…patriarchy is a symptom of the sociopathy that thrives under capitalism.
I didn’t say patriarchy came from capitalism, rather that a general sociopathy thrives when private entities control capital. I say that patriarchy is a product of general sociopathy, that organized dehumanizing of a group of people comes from a lack of empathy and compassion, which of course pre-dates capitalism.
