Patriarchy means that men dominate society. It is centered on reproduction because throughout history women cared for children. Infants needed nursing mothers and without one the child would die. Women had to move slower and stay closer to camp for their children. This allowed men to do the hunting and stay away from camp longer and so became an assumed task of women to take care of children. This is where men became dominant. Women did most of routine things where men could go out and accomplish various things.
