Do you support Patriarchy as a traditional European value or not?
I think patriarchy is a traditional human value, actually. Men are, by nature, leaders and protectors. Women are, by nature, followers and in need of protection. Of course, there are exceptions, and of course, neither is superior to the other by virtue of these differences. But the differences do exist, they exist naturally, and I see no reason to flout them in the name of so-called equality.
Patriarchy is associated with past centuries, rural undeveloped areas, communities cut off from the rest of the world, dictactoric regimes etc. (Dictactorship or democracy starts at home first). Even if we wanted to have patriarchy today I don't think it would be viable in this globalised era.
I support it as a traditional value for thousands of years among my people, fundamental value that kept us alive and unique till this day, even though being in the cross roads of empires and civilizations.
"Primitive society, like many savage societies of our own time, was probably strictly matriarchal. The mother was the head of the family. ...What masculine authority there was resided in the mother's brother. He was the man of the family, and to him the children yielded respect and obedience. Their father, at best, was simply a pleasant friend who fed them and played with them; at worst, he was an indecent loafer who sponged on the mother. They belonged, not to his family, but to their mother's. As they grew up they joined their uncle's group of hunters, not their father's. This matriarchal organization of the primitive tribe, though it finds obvious evidential support in the habits of higher animals, has been questioned by many anthropologists, but of late one of them, Briffault, demonstrated its high probability in three immense volumes [The Mothers: A Study of the Origins of Sentiments and Institutions]. It is hard to escape the cogency of his arguments, for they are based upon an almost overwhelming accumulation of facts. They not only show that, in what we may plausibly assume about the institutions of early man and in what we know positively about the institutions of savages today, the concepts inseparable from a matriarchate color every custom and every idea: they show also that those primeval concepts still condition our own ways of thinking and doing things, so that "the societal characters of the human mind" all seem to go back "to the functions of the female and not to those of the male." Thus it appears that man, in his remote infancy, was by no means the lord of creation that he has since become."
- Robert Briffault (anthropologist)
Who wouldn't support teh glorious patriarchy? The opportunity to oppress wimminz from all over the world alone is worth the admission cost. The weekly meetings on the secret lair are just an added benefit.
Ah, yes. This is what we're after:

Yes I absolutely Support it. Despite of Religion it is also only natural for men being the head of the home. I would not want it else. Have you ever thought that men inherit also a greater will to sacrifice themselves than women?
Sure there are women who would certainly die for their own children, maybe for their husband or Close Family members, but sacrificial love in a fullest sence can only be understood and practized by men. There is a reason why it is demanded in the Bible from men to love their wives as Christ loves the Church (He died for it) but it is in no place demanded that the wives would die for their husbands.
For centuries in Situation of danger when People needed to be saved it was said: "Women and Children first!"
Despite of that women are not suitable for leading roles. -> Lack on objectiveness and reason.
Just read all the Feminist stuff, unbelievable that such women came to power and influenced the mindset of the People in such a terrible way.
It is a traditional value,but is has no place in the future of humanity any more.
We can see it as an old bygone cultural trait for the history books.
