Patriarchy

"Not to be confused with Particracy." Patriarchy or literally Rule of Fathers is any form of governance in which political power is concentrated within men, especially father-figures. However, since the beginning of the women's liberation movement it has "taken on an emotional and derogatory meaning" by describing an undesirable society characterized by the overbearing representation of men and male privilege.

History
The first patriarchal societies could be said to have developed out of familial structures in which the fathers led their families.
