I would argue yes.

I think what you are getting at is that this may be more culturally determined than biologically determined.

Or maybe you argue no on the first question.
If I read him correctly, he would argue that men have culturally been taught to value feminity through visual stimulus, but that it might seem to be somewhat genetic in relating it to primates. I became a little confused by that discussion.

However, sometimes cultural conditioning can be so prevalent as to confuse the roll of biology versus culture.
