It struck me reading your comment that there is literally nothing that all Americans believe in “universally” and that makes me super sad.

i think there is very real fear women have to take into account whenever considering getting involved with any man. you don’t really know if he is a shitty person until you have invested some time into him, and that has its own costs. the risk of getting impregnated, ditched, and stuck with the bill is just too big. these days… even more so. i think this is a very natural outcome in the face of the rampant misogyny (in the case of S Korea) or revocation of reproductive rights (USA)

“to make you mad” – lol… not everyone thinks like you, just doing things for no other reason than being spiteful.
