No, I don’t think romance with men is pro-patriarchy.

I’ve encountered some people who say it’s feminist to be in a lesbian relationship. My impression is that those people are mostly straight cis women who’re grossed out by the “perversion” of actual lesbians. I also read an essay by a woman who argued that her 24/7 submission to her husband was actually a feminist choice. I concluded that her personal relationship wasn’t pro-feminist, but it also wasn’t anti-feminist because she didn’t think other people had to be like her. So I guess my attitude is that relationships are something where you just do what you want, and feminism is the right to choose what sort of things you want.

Ah ha ha, I'm an old person and in the 90s I actually flat-shared with some "political lesbians" and I thought it would be fine because I'm a lesbian. I was very, very wrong, and they were also very transphobic, which kind of prepared me for the coming wave of TERFs.

I really didn't think het political lesbians were a thing anymore? Certainly there are lesbians and bisexual women who say being in a lesbian relationship is more feminist, but not the old-school kind.
