What are the most plausible explanations on why patriarchy has been the dominant social structure since the dawn of agriculture?

by saoriFlower

I've recently read Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari and there was a chapter about the patriarchy in which he said that there are many theories, but no real consent amongst historians and anthropologists on why all cultures independently from another developed a patriarchal structure after going from nomadism to agriculture.

Is that true? Are there really no plausible explanations for this?

It is simply not true that all cultures developed patriarchy at the same time they developed agriculture. I discussed this in a previous post.
