Now we're from different societies most probably, but I don't believe it's women who get a lot of social pressure to be nice in quotes, it's everybody in a civilised society that's under such pressure, and that hurts more if you're an introverted and/or timid person (I am). Another real social pressure in on men to look strong and keep their problems to themselves, and to put up with anything "like a man". Probably that's why you don't hear as much of these stories from men. For example refusing a sexual advance from a female renders you less of a man in many modern societies. I'm totally glad that in the current scheme of things women are more and more able to come out and share their unlucky experiences and traumas, but I really despise this attitude of feminism of staking exclusive claims on each and every social problem.
