Many ways.
By having a good view of herself as a sexual creature she expresses her own power.
By being able to attract mates, she exerts her sexual power.
By being able to CHOOSE her partners (or turn them away) she exerts her sexual power.
Go to any bar where males and females are trying to meet each other and tell me what you think of the power structure...
And that's just showing normal/usual scenarios. Obviously there are many other dynamics that are less usual or 'accepted.'
Saying the sex, or power in sex is patriarcal is an old idea I think, and that may be why it doesn't fit in with 'modern liberal society'.
