As noted in the story I linked you, the rise of agriculture (along with increased population density and natural disasters that affected food supply) did exert what might be considered a more organic rise in patriarchy - although there was 5k years of agriculture before that happened so it can't be blamed entirely on that.
The Minoans only died out about 3k years ago, and they were a highly developed matri-focal culture. Some even believe it was a true matriarchy, although that implies a dominance hierarchy and I'm not sure that was truly the case. They were overrun by patriarchal invaders, as much of that part of the world was.
Patriarchy spread because it was so disruptive. Economic models of the spread of inequality (patriarchy) done at Standford University concur.
In other words, inequality did not spread from group to group because it is an inherently better system for survival, but because it creates demographic instability, which drives migration and conflict and leads to the cultural — or physical — extinction of egalitarian societies. New Scientist
