“For women to become equal they not only have to change the laws but also change attitudes and culture, because our culture is still incredibly patriarchal” (Judy Rebick)
And this is true. If we look at the history, patriarchal families started to be widespread since primary agricultural civilizations. In those extended families, which were as a unit of production and had only few functions, males dominated because their aim was one of the most important – to bring food into the family, while females had to do all other works such as feed her family, take care of a big number of children and look after the health of all members of the family. While civilizations were developing, and people created different views on the family, still patriarchal families dominated as women already considered this male domination as a common. And I agree with the remaining family as a patriarchal institution, because males in their nature are stronger and resilient, while women are fragile and tend to rely on a person who is stronger than her. And this structure of the family make feel woman to be responsible for the home comfort and childcare and man to assume the duty of protecting and providing with all the necessities his family. Children who grow in such structured families tend to have the same priorities in their future life and behave in the same way. 
Patriarchal structure of the family became a principle of the society and the source of social continuity. But still there were many views which say that female domination in the family might improve relationships and make couples be happier. One of that views was written in Elise Sutton’s book ‘Female Domination’: “Female Domination lifestyle can build a bond of intimacy, defuse arguments, relieve stress, transport sex to a higher level than just the physical, empower women in society, and inject excitement into the mundane tasks of life such as household chores.”
