Not everyone can afford to just walk away more than once or twice. And people may perceive the uncertain alternative of not getting that job right now as much worse than it would actually turn out, and agree to stuff they don't really want. Like the point made in this short comedy scene: [VIDEO]

Your partner shouldn't be pressuring you into having sex; that's wrong of them, and you deserve better. Coerced consent isn't consent [1]; the fact that there are different levels of violence and pressure involved in some cases of coercion doesn't mean that the less-obvious levels are okay. [1] [VIDEO]

Yes, I do not think women had complete agency in deciding to have 5+ kids each. Or even 4. And it is probably still the same case for many around the world. Kind of like this scene: [VIDEO]
