No, other men have valued men on their ability to provide when deciding who their daughters should marry. And make sure with laws that women needed to comply because they weren't allowed to work without the father's or husband's permision or open a bank account. And for many centuries women weren't allowed to own property. The left them with the only option to marry, become nuns or prostitutes. But it wasn't about sexual preferences but basic survival.

There is plenty of evidence of arranged marriages decided by men. Women were just expected to comply. Many were married while still literal child. Read history, it is there.
