No, that's the reactionary propaganda doing that.

Everybody living in this world should be aware that words have context and don't always literally mean what their parts mean. And even then “patriarchy” is one of the more literal ones: it comes from “pater”/father in the same vein as “paternalistic”, with the same connotation of overbearing-yet-out-of-touch.

So just from word meaning that clearly doesn't mean all men, and obviously it also doesn't refer to literal fathers either.
