Ordinary guys getting married to ordinary women = patriarchy.
The Sultan having a harem of 40,000 = not patriarchy.
That really seems to be the attitude. Women haven't changed at all and want the same thing they always have. It was a brief bit of egalitarianism in history that gave us a "tradition" that was in fact an anomaly.
As a side note, I laugh at the 6-6-6 thing. It doesn't help. They want something else.
What if they want nothing at all? As in, women naturally aren't that attracted to men but through historical male domination, women's level of attraction has been mostly irrelevant historically.
