Although I suspect that your posting is at least somewhat facetious, there is quite some truth in this.

There has been very little empirical success in trying to replace patriarchal cultural behaviour enforcement with the state, because the realm of primary (sexual) relationships is so private, personal and inscrutable.

It does seem to require patriarchal enforcement in the immediate family and society.

It's a conundrum - women need to be treated as equals, but also require protection from (more aggressive, physically dominant) men.

I'm not sure that anyone has quite found the appropriate model for approaching this - not feminists, and not patriarchal traditionalists.
