We often hear stories of men pressuring women in to having sex with them.

             Now on the same token women pressure men into commitment. .

             However when we hear these stories we think nothing of them. The simple truth is that woman .

             force men into commitment.

             The reason why women force men into a commitment that they do not want is .

             paradoxical. When some man dates or is in a relationship with a woman for sex it is the same as .

             a woman being with a man because he is good marriage material (Goldberg 240). To women .

             commitment is like sex is to a man. The author of "The Inner Male" Herb Goldberg says .

             "Feminine pressure for commitment from a man in a relationship is the counterpart and .

             equivalent to the traditional masculine pressuring of a woman for sex."(241). Women feel that .

             sex means that there is a commitment, and men feel that commitment is sex, thus a .

             paradox(Freudenberger 240).

             There are several reason that men don't like commitment. One of which being men see a .

             huge difference between responsibility on the job and in a relationship (Freudenberger 235). Men .

             see relationships as an obligation, one man said "A woman relies on me and expects her to be my .

             top priority."(Freudenberger 235). When a man is pressured to commit to a woman it, leave him .

             feeling venerable and open, much like a woman pressured in to having sex. This can sometimes .

             have effects on a man and can create problems. Women that date a man because they think he's .

             marriage material and then finds out differently and leaves them, and also blames the man for the .

             failure of this relationship(Goldberg 242). The man may think that he's not fit to commit or may .

             become closed off to the world because of his fear of being hurt again.

             Men force women into sex, women force men to commit. Only one story comes .

             to mind when a woman hasn't pressured a commitment and that was on the Simpson so it really .

             doesn't count. In our world we just don't want to think that women are we don't like to believe .
