I’m sorry, but this is such a baseless assertion. Fair complexion, long hair, symmetrical facial features, slim waists etc. are attractive to men. But there’s no proof that this is due to society and culture. Biology plays a large part in what people view as sexually attractive. There’s a reason most people don’t find themselves sexually attracted to cats. Or is that a social construct too?
