I thought about this question all week (thanks for asking!), and admit that I feel a little stumped by the scope of it. Because patriarchy impacts... everything?! Which makes it feel impossible to give you a comprehensive answer, so instead I'll share one of the things that kept coming to mind while I reflected on your question, and that's the way that patriarchy's assigned gender roles puts such a huge (and often unspoken) burden on women (I'm using the gender binary here since that's what patriarchy does) to be selfless and nurturing, and to do most/all of the unpaid domestic labor in their family and relationships. That's something I internalized so much when I was young, and have really had to be conscious and intentional about breaking out of!
