How are you defining those places as "decidedly patriarchal, un-feminist?" Tell me all about their divorce laws and dating cultures.
Do I really need to provide evidence that divorce laws and dating culture in places like Iran are not favorable to the female side? Or that Eastern European women are far more comfortable in traditional roles than their Western European peers?

Tell me what options "the patriarchy" has if women just decide they want to find themselves all throughout their reproductive years? Tell me what options "the patriarchy" has when women overwhelmingly and eternally vote for open borders and unlimited immigration from savage foreign cultures, and for unrestricted access to no-fault divorce and abortion on a whim because feelings, the answer is: nothing. Men's option is to watch helplessly as their culture is aged and bred out of existence. Women will never vote for things that sustain civilization.
Neither of those things have happened in Japan, South Korea, Iran or even Eastern Europe, yet their birthrates still declined like crazy over the past decades. In Iran, neither the women nor the men are able to vote for any meaningful policy change to begin with. In SK, birth rates had already plummeted to 1.5 children per women (well below replacement rate) by the mid-1980s, while the country was still an undemocratic police/military dictatorship.

Isn't South Korea ultra-feminist? That women there very openly despise Korean men?
The relationship between South Korean men and women has turned very sour over the past 10ish years, and their women have increasingly adopted classical feminist demands in recent years. As you can see from the chart above, this has exacerbated their birth rate problem even further, but isn't the root cause.

But anyways, you identified the only solution - turn back those. Theres a reason that every religion worldwide is syncretic with respect to women - being mothers, caregivers, and managers of the household is their singular role in society. Women's self-determination fundamentally devolves into prostitution, as the only true agency that women have is their sexuality
Even by your standards, this might be the most neanderthal thing you've ever posted here on PaRD.
