In what way?
There's a weird obsession in a lot of americanized Christianity with getting young adults married and then having kids. Because I guess they want to see more little Jesus babies and they think that's all a young adult woman needs to be doing.
I was pressured hardcore into getting married young and then having kids. Fortunately no kids happened and I got out of it all. But I saw so many older church folk at multiple churches push this on lots of young adults.
There's this weird "no sex no sex no sex no sex" obsession with sex they impress upon you as a teen, which has kind of a Streisand effect by the way. Then at age 18 it becomes endless "oh you two are so cute, when are you proposing, when is the wedding, when are the kids coming..." kind of shit.
Especially for girls. I knew one woman once who said it was (figuratively) like her parents were weirdly holding her legs closed for so long and obsessed with her "purity," and then one day it was almost like they were wanting to force her legs open for any Christian man they liked.
