I could try to use "perplexing" more than "patriarchal" probably

Example: You know what's really perplexing? Parents who would banish women with health problems to the village of the outcasts as "the bad people," but would put their kids on a helicopter in the most unfavorable weather conditions with a sexual predator just because he's a rich and famous celebrity. 

SO PATRIARCHAL, I MEAN, PERPLEXING!
