Not sure, but I think it's called "patriarchy" and it's existed for quite a bit of time. It's not really the "equivalent," or perhaps it's the "dialectical equivalent."
I disagree that patriarchy and masculist are equivilant.

I would think that "masculist" would investigate male role issues, including but not limited to male objectification and machismo, whereas patriarchy ( to me) implies the system of men running the world for the last few hundred/thousand
