'Sister Wives' star Kody Brown asked his 3 remaining wives to 'conform to patriarchy' after Christine announced she was leaving him

• Kody asked his wives to form to patriarchy.

• He said he was bitter because his family wasn't what he originally intended.

• In an interview, she said she's never agreed to being a woman.

The end of the family meeting where Christine announced the end of her marriage to Kody was where Kody asked his remaining wives to form to patriarchy.

After a lengthy discussion during which all of the Brown parents discussed the logistics of the split and the future of their polygamist family, Kody said, "I'm going to be the head of myhousehold again, and so I'm not going to be circumvented in that If people are willing to conform to patriarchy again.

I have been trying to make everyone happy. He said that his bitterness was out of not having the family that he had thought about.

If I don't feel like I'm the head of my household when people are around, then I won't have the whole family together. I don't have time to waste on people who don't respect me or treat me well.

I should've taken the reins, but I felt like all of your independence was more important, that's why I was disappointed in how I'd managed your family recently. He apologized for the family's failure and said that they had lost their unity.

"Yeah, I didn't know I'd signed up for patriarchy, but that's not what we all agreed on in the beginning," said Kody's second wife, Janelle. Kody said in his interview that his wife agreed to patriarchy when she married him.

Kody's fourth wife, Robyn, worried that Christine's decision would "rock us" and hoped everyone was taking their "responsibility" to the family seriously.

Christine became Kody's third wife in a 1994 spiritual marriage, a year after he legally married another woman. Kody's only legal wife was Robyn, who joined the family in 2010 as a spiritual wife and later became Kody's only legal wife after he divorced his first wife. Christine and Janelle have never been legally married to one another.

"Sister Wives" season 17 can be seen on Sundays. The show is on the cable channel.
