Patriarchy says that men can't be "soft" because that's a womanly trait, and women are inferior.

So they where practicing the first part. Do we have a word for that?

No, patriarchy is men having power, it doesn't define what they can or can't do otherwise.

By patriarchy, I mean it in the context of feminism, as in the ideology that attempts to rationalize the idea of that men are better than woman, by using things such as religion, bioessentialism, and more. There are many definitions.

So toxic masculinity, not patriarchy.

Toxic masculinity is an effect of the patriarchy. These are the toxic traits that eminate from masculinity as defined by the patriarchy.

But hey at this point we're arguing about semantics. There are traits that men and women are taught as being bad to do as men, even though some of those traits are actually necessary, or just part of someone's personality.
