    Actually yes the ancient greeks did preference the female form as more beautiful than the male form. Their mythology and gods and goddesses make that very clear.

    Hell to depict a man as an aspect of beauty would have been blasphemous as that would be an insult to Aphrodite. Unless said man was blessed by the goddess and had her favor. Men were for all intents and purposes subservient to women for the purposes of beauty.

    Most Greek statues also depict leaders and mythological folk heros. Which were men, but women are always equally treated with respect in art of that nature. Greeks just generally respected the human form in general.

    You couldn’t have picked a literal worse example to try to prove your point. And it really makes you sound like you are just a misandrist and don’t want to straight say it out right.
