Today the influence of patriarchy, although dwindling, effects us in many ways. Many people suffer various emotional/mental disabilities from the brainwashing concerning sex as evil and dirty. Womyn are still considered immoral if they enjoy sex and talk about it. Womyn are still restricted in some social, political and religious areas. Some womyn continue to be under-represented politically, under-compensated economically for equal work and restricted in many major religions from access to positions of authority. The monogamous sexual morality code and patriarchal family structure is seen as "normal", while reflecting repression of natural instincts. The patriarchal family makes great demands on human nature, chastity禁欲 — being kept from orgasm and self-sacrifice on the part of womyn, obedience and discipline of the children, control by the father and is autonomous, rather than relying on a group as in Matercentric times. Sexual pleasure gives womyn a source of power over men, therefore our very nature must be denied as dirty and dangerous. Even now, sexual and physical abuse of womyn is so common that many people have become numb to it's reports. Yet even as womyn are condemned for their sexuality, men continue to enjoy it.
