That is actually an argument people make, that war is just inevitable because it's human nature. Did you know that? The argument that a trait is innate and therefore there's nothing to be done is used to excuse all kinds of things. It's not about sexual preference. It's about how women are treated in society. How women aren't deemed sexual beings past a certain age, and rarely portrayed as sexual beings. And how that does indeed influence sexual preference. But talk about that? Naw! It's biology! But that claim is based on pseudo science.
And blustering along the lines of All socieities everywhere are like that! Okay. But even if your claim is true. Still doesn't make it biology. So shouldn't we do something about it? A man can still prefer whoever he wants to. But we don't have to continue to have a society that devalues women.
