I suspect there's pressure from peer women too. Are there any non-partriarchal societies to check for it?
I don't know of nonpatriarchal societies, but there have always been women who enforce patriarchy. Consider, for example, "tradwife" influencers. Or look at the moms who let their sons get away with murder with a "boys will be boys" while reprimanding their daughters for not being responsible.
The Jewish culture is semi-matriarchal

Documentary about Jewish women trying to divorce their husbands.
Do jewish matriarchs demand children from their daughters / daughters-in-law ?
The Internet doesn't give me a definite answer on that matter 😔
They absolutely do
Generally, yes. There is pressure from older generations regardless.
emphasis on the "semi"
there's still a lot of male privilege and overt male control
