You're absolutely right. Would you say that women are punished more by those demands tho? I would. Also, while we're both affected, we can agree that it's in different ways, no? I mean, men are expected to fuck, a lot. Women are considered sluts, by this silly ass society, for the same behavior. Men can look out and see other men in positions of power in different areas (business, politics, athletics/entertainment) where women are often underrepresented. Men expect a certain level of pay that women don't receive, for the same job. Men walk the streets without the threat of being raped. Just sayin', male privilege is a real thing and impacts women and men differently. Or at least, I would assume.
