Yes, women feel social pressure. Men feel social pressure as well. But no one frets over men feeling pressure, because everyone understand that men are strong, independent, and don't need to rely on women for help. Are women not strong? Are women incapable of acting in their own self-interest, without relying on male guidance and protection? Are women lesser than men?

It would definitely help if everyone would quit blatantly ignoring the other side's points. There's truth to the "social pressure" point, and there's truth to the "women are/should be autononmous beings" point. Clinging to fear and victimhood has never solved the issue, but then, judgment and victim-blaming has never made anyone brave enough to step away from such things.

The thing is in this particular case: There is no actual "victim" to blame unless you have this obsession with victimhood and "all women poor oppressed flowers" thinking. To everyone not subscribing to this POV, the whole thing was a bad date based on the miscommunication of two adults who were both not very smart about things.

I agree it sounded like a bad date with poor communication. But ignoring what might have led a person to feel like they couldn't express themselves has never been helpful. Social pressure is real. An upbringing where you feel you have no choice but to please others and go along with everything or be punished is real. And for the record, no, I don't blame Aziz for that.
