The roots may be biological, but we rise above our biology every day. That is the essence of the liberal project - we protect the weak instead of leave them behind. Democracy, a system of justice, these things are unnatural. They exist to prevent us from degenerating into a Hobbesian state of nature where might makes right.

The inability of our society to protect victims and the weak when they happen to be male is one of the strongest signs that the left wing is no longer actually liberal.

Good luck with you idealism, given that over 95% of 'society' does not care either for themselves or others, let alone the weak.

I have plenty of cynical opinions about the state of society, but here's the rub: if you believe you're going to lose, your belief will come true 100% of the time.
