"patriarchal values" = beliefs that a male-dominated society hold near and dear. Such as male superiority in most aspects of life, female lust must be controlled or harnessed, a belief in a masculine God, etc, etc..
"institutionalize aspects of sexuality" = creating social frameworks for the "expression" of sexual desires, fears, repression, etc..
(for desire) Orgies: Orgies have been around forever, they're a well-defined framework which take advantage of our natural sexual desires and our natural urge to "obey", and serve as an outlet for the sexual desires for the upper classes.
(for fear) Prison Rape: The prison system is a very well defined institution, which often allows its members to control and rape one another, forming a hearachy of "givers" and "receivers". The receivers suffering what could arguable a man's greatest fear, and the givers getting an outlet to their natural libido.
(for repression) Nunneries: Nunneries are institutions that repress all forms of female sexuality, and keep women busy doing other things. (often manual labour or religious study) and often allow for male sexual assault. A great example of a patriarchal institution if there ever was one.

LOL Sounds like some very snooty acedemic troll found a smart-sounding way to say they don't like societal structures where men are viewed as leaders of the Church and of families.
God set it up that way, but some folks don't like it.
Patriarch is not some dirty word like modernists think. Abraham was a patriarch. Jesus Christ was a patriarch. Even Ghandi was a patriarch of sorts.
Let's be very clear: old and frustrated men did not set up the moral laws regarding human sexuality. GOD DID. If anyone has a problem with His commandments, they can discuss it with Him.

Most modern societies are living in a patriarchal values, meaning men rule the world and they decide what's wrong in terms of sexuality and pretty much everything else.

Lol, it means to me that a bunch of old men are deciding what's proper for sex/sexuality and what's not. And for the most part, it's probably right *sigh*

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avubj
(I know I blocked you so your probably don't want me answering your questions either but fck it, I'm still able to answer yours so I'm gonna answer this one...ONLY. And since this will be the only one I will get ALL of what I have to say off of my chest now) Woooow...I first start off by saying I'm looking at some of these answers and this is unbelievable. This is gonna sound harsh but I don't care because Grrr you are always the first to be blunt and to to say whatever the hell you want without any regard of anyone else. So I will be blunt too and have no regards for you either...Im not going to sit here and pamper you and hold your hand and tell you "there there, it's gonna be okay Grrr, we like you." Fck that. Some of you people are ridiculous. SO it's okay for Grrr to be a prick, {somethings she's OPENLY admitted}, but when people have something bad to say about her she wants to cry it out in a question?! FCK THAT! You dish it prepare to take it and don't whine. The people that are wiping your tears and telling you you're alright are the people that don't apply to your constant ignorant remarks. So OBVIOUSLY a Cancer or an Aquarius is not gonna understand your ignorance and OBVIOUSLY they are gonna sympathize with you because YOU NEVER TALK SH*T ABOUT THOSE SIGNS GENIUS! So that sympathy and support is from a biased person that wont put these selves in other peoples shoes...Oh but I bet if a Cancer was on the receiving end of constant ignorant remarks, they wouldn't be so nurturing towards Grrr either...Some of you people have this "well it's not me she's insulting so I'm going to sympathize with her" type of mentality. But what if it WAS you she was CONSTANTLY lashing out? And don't sit here and drop the weak "I wouldn't care. I'd just move on and ignore her response". BULLSH*T, because some of the people I see on this question I know for a FACT have gotten moody and defended your own signs other questions when people make fun of yor sign the way Grrr makes fun of the ones she doesn't like. (In particular Leo women). So don't contradict yourselves. Oh It's funny huh when she makes fun of a sign that isn't your's but when it happens to you its "How could she say that?". Oh stfu you hypocrites...I'm not a Leo woman but this is stupid, you people acting like everything is okay just because it isn't you that is the target...I'd say the same thing whether Grrr was lashing out at Capricorn women, Taurus men, Libra women or whatever. And I don't give a f*ck HOW many people thumbs me down. 100 TD's from little internet biased cliches that like you don't mean sh*t when it's from a bunch of people that wont even look at BOTH sides of the spectrum. (Just because their your internet buddies doesn't mean you shouldn't own up to what you did that was wrong...)Truth is Grrr if you know you're a prick that goes around lashing out at at a certain group if people then stfu if someone doesn't like you. Plain and simple. Expect it. Because negative opinions even are going to create conflict. It's the pros and cons of an OPINION. So either learn tact when you speak of expect harshness in return. If you're a big bad behemoth *sshole Aries like you say(Yeah I've seen you say that on a question before so don't lie), then you should have NO problem taking what you give...I've heard ppl say crap about ALL SIGN but there's a reason why you in particular stand out a lot. And that reason is you literally promote CONSTANT ignorance against Leo women in particular that which hard to not notice...There are signs I have had problems with in my past but you don't see my taking EVERY chance I get to call that sing a "b*tch sl*t peace garbage that should go to hell." That's basically the kind of sh*t you say about signs you don't like. That's beyond a civil opinion, that's verbal f*cking assault.So expect people to defend themselves...You can tell your bad experience while still maintaining class and tact. So in conclusion. Grrr, yes it does suck that some people may not be fond of you. But oh well that's life. On the flip side you have to realize that you being a prick,(your words not mine), is something that is going have negativity so suck it up and don't worry about it. And to the people that are babying her, you know DAMN well you wouldn't be doing that if it was you sign she was constantly assailing. Unlike you people, I'm not selfish and I can understand the annoyance from a certain sign being attacked even if it's not my own. And you people should be able to too because it has happened to all of us.
