It's not just a few psychopaths - it's entire cultures that are built and designed around dominace-based hierarchies. And yes, women participate in them as well, but since they are historically lower down the pyramid of power, they still don't have the same societal impact. And these are patriarchal dominance hierarchies because they came about at the same time as the social and sexual control of women about 6-9 thousand years ago when paternity became important in a way that it hadn't been prior to that time when egalitarian bands of foragers and proto-agriculturalists all took care of each other as a central survival strategy.
