Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Modern Novel

Y es que si la cirrosis te dejó huérfano de padre a muy temprana edad y el patriarcado familiar lo asumió un primogénito culturista de extrema derecha, si te criaste en una barriada violenta como el San Marcelino de los setenta y si eras el menor de una hueste impetuosa e indómita —a cuyo paso no crecía la hierba, se acababan los licores y ***las doncellas quedaban en cinta***— es imposible escapar al gen del barrio.

Description of one of the main characters in the novel. He has a beer belly,a broken eye tooth, and a receding hairline, and must be in his mid-thirties, and still has what the author calls a 'rotten charm'. Here he describes his family background. I'm not quite sure what the phrase above means. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, and UK Eng please! :)
