And more: Rhaenyra being named heir by Viseys was irrelevant. When the lords named Viserys king instead of Rhaenys, they created a precedent of the lords being the ones to choose the ruler of Westeros, and preferring the male bloodline. So she knew Rhaenyra’s claim would most likely be disputed, and that her sons would be in danger for that. And Rhaenyra having bastard children was another reason for her claim being disputed, as the lords would not accept a bastard king. That was also a reason for refusing a match between Jacaerys and Helaena. That would actually be incredibly reckless. The more I look at it, the more it seems like some sort of civil war was bound to happen.

No one in Westeros follows a precedent unless it aligns with their beliefs. It's the same with history and modern times. Nothing in the past matters unless it happens to benefit you in particular. Rhaenyra's claim was always going to be disputed, precedent or not, because as you stated, it is a patriarchal society, so using the precent as an argument for anything is just moot to me. If Viserys had a bit more Daemon in him, it might have actually worked out, maybe, but he's a people pleaser until the end, and that is inevitably what screws Rhaenyra over the most in my opinion, and that plays into her children's parentage too.
