What can possibly be the cause of such a pattern in the society you posit?
It's much more likely that such a gendered behavior will disappear; the
causes of the existing pattern are sexism + income & wealth inequality
between men and women, so in a society where neither exists, there is no
material condition that supports such a pattern.  Further, there won't be
any matterial support for the predominance of heterosexuality either.  I
guess when it comes to gender, many men avoid inconvenient materialist
explanations.
