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.
