Women aren't obligated to have sex with anyone in particular, and it's extremely worrying how prevalent this opposition to romantic freedom has become in online discourse.
It's worthwhile to explore from where these social pressures arrive. Parents, teachers, peers, religious authorities, bosses, and advertising come to mind. I wonder where you'd rank the influence of all these? For reference, don't hesitate to look into bell hooks "The Will to Change;"[0] as feminist texts go, it's extremely sympathetic to men. I think you'll find a lot to agree with, right off the bat.

- klipt 4y ago> Women aren't obligated to have sex with anyone in particular Who said women (or men) are? But who people choose to date is obviously a very strong source of societal pressure. Have you not heard of "sexual selection"? If men refused to date women who wear pants, that would be strong pressure on women to wear dresses instead. If women refuse to date stay at home dads, that's strong pressure on men to be breadwinners instead.
- ZGDUwpqEWpUZ 4y ago> Women aren't obligated to have sex with anyone in particular Of course not, don't be ridiculous. That doesn't change the effect of their preferences, though. And, of course men's preferences also have an effect on women. There's no need to be defensive (or aggressive) here. > Parents, teachers Which gender are those mostly?
