Misogyny has many aspects and roots that can't really be traced, some blame capitalism, others religion, others culture, biology etc. But for all these there is a precedent or an exception.
Some say it's because women were originally homemakers with the men going out hunting and women staying back and taking care of their offspring but I recently came across many posts on social media mentioning a study that found out that women were actually hunters as well. I'm really curious then, at what point was patriarch established?

Is not the simplest explanation for the ubiquity of patriarchy that the groups that impose order in society (police, army,...) are super-majority male?
Any government needs the support of these groups. Any society w/o the support of these groups is vulnerable to take over, with the powers that be in that takeover again being reliant on males.
Similarly to the extent that governments try to defuse problems in a society to reduce the potential for civil unrest or revolt, they will focus more on male opinions as young males are general source of unrest.
