I'm not sure how you think the patriarchy is enforced, but the answer is no, they won't, and they'll be oppressed with violence for resisting the people with more guns and soldiers.

Which is part of the story. "The War" and "The Crusade" are how Gilead refers to the ongoing civil war that formed the state, where, among other things, civil rights and the Constitution were abolished.

So, if you want to know why armed women didn't turn the tide?

Plenty of them joined Gilead, for one thing, and the took the others' guns and killed the ones who resisted.
