Suppressing Natural Desires Is Unhealthy

Women have an innate desire to express their femininity and charm. This desire to feel attractive and appreciated is not inherently sexual or inappropriate—it's part of human nature. Ethically requiring women in committed relationships to suppress this expression may lead to feelings of repression, resentment, or diminished self-esteem. Denying such natural inclinations, when they are not harmful, can be emotionally and psychologically unhealthy.

How about men!

If we justify certain behaviors on the basis of natural desires, we must apply the same logic consistently. Men also have natural desires, including the urge to seek visual pleasure from others. Yet, in the context of a committed relationship, society often views this as inappropriate or disrespectful. If it is ethically wrong for men to act on these desires, then the same standard should arguably apply to women. Mutual respect in relationships often requires setting boundaries around the pursuit of external validation, regardless of gender.
