People need beauty. When people are put in an ugly environment and situated in a culture of ugliness, this need will be expressed in destructive ways. In such an environment, the female body will become increasingly the sole focus of male interest as it becomes the only source of beauty in that environment. And that kind of intensity, which would otherwise would sublimated in the richness of a beautiful environment, is now directed entirely toward the female body. This doesn't bode well for either men or women.
Beauty is not a luxury. It is essential to humanity. Deprive us of beauty, fill our world with ugly architecture and ugly art, with ugly human culture, and you will breed misery.
