Source of the psychology trivia:
 
“Handbook of evolutionary psychology” (2005) edited by David M. Buss, page 843.
 
“Numerosity and Ordinality Numerosity refers to the ability to quickly and accurately determine the number of items in a set without counting. Within the first week of life, infants are able to discriminate between visual arrays containing two versus three (and sometimes four) items (e.g., Starkey, Spelke, & Gelman, 1990). Infants can even make numerosity judgments between two different sensory modalities. For example, 6- and 9-month-old infants were shown arrays of two or three objects and simultaneously heard two or three drum beats. Infants looked significantly longer at the visual display that corresponded to the auditory pattern they heard (Starkey, Spelke, & Gelman, 1983, 1990).”

I just wrote down the source, the name of the textbook which contains the trivia mentioned by Twilight. (Just so the readers know it is not made-up.)

I am surprised, but apparently not. Surprisingly few synonyms, and all of them have “patriarch~~” inside of them, except one: “fatherly”, but it does not have anything to do with politics.
 
Other, farther synonyms, have nothing to do with gender (and Twi finds a world without female rule a fascinating hypothetical scenario, hence such a focus on a political system with a root word “patre~~”).
 
 
(However this lack-of-answer was from a quick google search. No idea what would turn up if I spent more time looking for it, and if other synonym would be as obviously male-focused as patriarchy.)

It was good, but the thing about patriarchy rubs me the wrong way.  
Is there no other word that means the same thing but isn’t used by extremely horrible people?
