Patriarchy mating = male domination/decision, decides mating.
Matriarchy mating = female domination/decision, decides mating.
In monkies.
A typical Patriarchy. Is among Chimpansees. Where the Alpha Male, highest status, gets to mate with most of the females. And mate guards (most) of the females.
A typical Matriarchy. Is among Bonobo's. Where the female choice, decides which males get to mate with a female.
Most people think. That people/monkies in a matriarchy; have to highest chance of reporduction success. Because the Alpha male is not claiming and mate guarding all the women.
WRONG.
It's even worse.
When females decide mating. Males have even less chance of reproducing, than if some tirant Alpha male tries to cockblock every dude and claim all the womens.

The percentage of paternities achieved by the most reproductively successful male was also higher in bonobos (62%) than in any chimpanzee 7-year period (range: 7%–56%, mean = 26%).
" Male reproductive skew was higher in bonobos than chimpanzees because high-ranking bonobo males more effectively monopolized reproduction. The average standardized dominance ranks of sires was higher in bonobos (0.81) than in four out of five chimpanzee communities (mean = 0.77 "
