What do you mean by "status and machismo competitions"? Narrowly defined, in many patriarchal societies this is false. Seriously, read some history. Take a look at say 18th-19th century England. Some men could do many different things from becoming ascetic monks, to becoming gentlemen scientists, to sponsoring works of art, to yes even status and machismo competitions if that suites your fancy.
If you define "status and machismo competitions" broadly then we're mostly doing the same thing today.
I still don't get why you'd prefer to live in a world where women cannot do all those awesome things as well.
Your mistake here was thinking I enjoy what we have today.
Ok, then you won't be any more disappointed up on waking up in a patriarchy.
Of course there were plenty of options...they were post enlightenment societies.
