-Power based on dividing people into women and men: A society where the power is held by men. In the kyriarchy model, this doesn't have to mean that the average man would be powerful in this society - the power can instead be concentrated to a few patriarchs or to a slightly wider group such as old men. Note that the word "patriarchy" is often used in ways which are very different from how it's used in the kyriarchy model or in antrophology. Some people use the word instead as a synonym for [[systemic]] [[misogyny]] at the [[macro level]], while some other people use it instead to mean a [[category agency]] fantasy about every Assigned Male At Birth person somehow sharing some sort of nefarious agenda. Of these two definitions, self-ideitified feminists tend to prefer the former while self-identified anti-feminists tends to prefer the latter.

 * Macro/nation: Most nations are still de facto patriarchal – the vast majority of resources are owned by men, the vast majority of people in top leadership positions are men, and at the top levels of society it is still easier to be taken seriously as a man. A few nations are also still formally patriarchal, with laws limiting women's right to vote or run for office or own property, and so on. Matriarchy at the level of nation-states does not currently exist (although some local indigenous societies may still be matriarchal), has not existed for a long time, and is unlikely to come into existence in the future either.
 Note that some conceptualizations of "patriarchy" are built on ideas such as "[[Men's violence against women]]". These models typically use the concepts of "patriarchy" and "sexism" either as synonymous or with a distinction such as between individual cases and systenic patterns in society. In the model of kyriarchy with its distinction between kyriarchy and categorism, justification and [[normalization]] of [[violence]] is a part of categorism (in this case sexism) rather than a part of kyriarchy (in this case patriarchy).

-In anthropology, the terms “matriarchy” and “patriarchy” refers to societies being run by women and to societies being run by men. (Note that there are also other conceptualizations of these terms.) Meanwhile, the term “kyrios” (an ancient Greek term typically translated to “lord” or “master”) refers to those who have the power – whoever those who have the power may be. Please note that the anthropological definitions of patriarchy and matriarchy are neutral, the terms themselves do not include any value judgment on whether the system is good or bad. Likewise, the term kyriarchy is here used as a neutral term: While a form of kyriarchy can be oppressive, it is not [[a priori]] oppressive simply for being a kyriarchy.

Likewise, the term kyriarchy is here used as a neutral term: Some foci of kyriarchy are inherently oppressive, others are not. To judge whether a certain foci of kyriarchy is oppressive (either inherently so, or merely in how it's being practiced), see to how this form of kyriarchy relates to [[violence]] and to [[categorism]]. Is it upheld by force rather than consensually, and does the justifications for it rely on [[prejudice]]/[[bigotry]]/[[discrimination]]?
 The concept of Kyriarchy is divided into expressions of kyriarchy and foci of kyriarchy. The expressions are how kyriarchy is done: The power of prestige, ownership and leadership. The foci is what categorization the kyriarchy is based on and what category is being elevated – such as women, men, citizens of the “correct” skin color or people of the “correct” citizenship. A society can be more or less kyriarchal in many different ways at the same time, depending on how strong the expressions of each foci of kyriarchy is. Thus a certain “form of kyriarchy” can include several different foci as well as several different expressions.

 Kyriarchy and categorism are often intertwined, since they easily feed each other. Categorism can build kyriarchy: When prejudice, bigotry and discrimination is heaped on one category, it becomes easier to justify that all prestige, ownership and leadership should be held by the opposite category. Likewise, kyriarchy can build categorism: When prestige, ownership and leadership is overwhelmingly held by one category,  it becomes easier to justify prejudice, bigotry and discrimination against the opposite category. Note that this definition of kyriarchy doesn't in itself include any distinction regarding whether (or to what extent) the power dynamic is being fair and constructive or is being unfair and oppressive. Whether a certain form of kyriarchy should be regarded as a good thing, as a necessary evil, or as needlessly oppressive garbage depends on many factors which can all be summed up in a single question: ''Does this form of kyriarchy require [[categorism]] to be justified?'' In other words: Does this power dynamic exist for reasons which are good in themselves (or at least better than any currently available alternative), or does the power dynamic need to be upheld through [[prejudice]], [[bigotry]] and [[discrimination]] for it to be perpetuated?
-When analyzing kyriarchy, it is very important to keep in mind that powwer is typically concentrated to special subsets of a category, rather than being equally distributed among all individuals who are included in the category. In other words, belonging to a category favored by a kyriarchal structure does not make a person become inherently [[Monolithization | powerful]] or [[Collective Guilt | responsible]].
