I'm not sure anything in history is truly inevitable, but matriarchy is pretty hard to counteract. look at the fundamental: No society can exist without the fundamental reproductive capacity that women's labour and women's bodies represent. You can have an all-women society that only occasionally has contact with men remaion stabler, functioning and thriving through generations (some tribal societies work on what was called th Elephant model), but not all-male societies. I suspect any male-dominated society would, in the long run, be doomed to instability without female involvement.
Of course it is possible to imagine a society in which men actually subjugate women. It would require an inordinate amount of repression, though - you would need to control their labour and take away their children, maybe communally raise them. Or have the men raise them. It is all but unimaginable how you could destroy the maternal bond, and without doing that, how can you disintegrate family structures? No society with a family system can in the long run negate female influence, mother-child-bonding is fundamental to its continuity. Even societies where men hold the majority of property reproduce their structures from mother to child. The amount of violence and the degree of inequality a society without that structure would have to be tremendous, though. I couldn't begin to imagine that it would be considered legitimate anywhere on earth.
Modern ethnology argues that kin is, to a degree, an imaginary concept, so maybe if you set up an imaginary patrocentric kinship system? But how would that work? Who would believe in something so obviously untestable (until modern biochemistry, that is)?
