That's an illusion, and forcing people to do something 'for their own good' is the road to dictatorship. Furthermore, how can a man be in a relationship with a woman, knowing she was coerced into it? Only a pathetic man would want something like that.
people have freedom to say anything they want in the usa. however, this does not mean they are free them from the consequences. for example you can call someone a liar. you can do that but you are not free from the consequences (that person sues you for libel or defamation, etc)
in the past, for the most part, you were free to be a slut and a cheater. however, society punished you for it. it's not dictatorship when the general society decides they don't want to do anything with you. for example, how most people deal with child abusers/predators. how society doesn't want to have anything to do with them.
after all, basically there was no law that says shotgun weddings must exist. but people did that anyways because those were the ethnic and morals of the time. basically, "you sweet talk my daughter, you fvck her, you knock her up... you fvcking marry her, and commit to her or else I, her uncles, brothers, etc shot your a55." conversely, the woman was pressured to stay married and respect her husband

e.g, sex was always on the table.
that was how the world works and people were happier about it. dictatorship? no, it's morals and ethics. a girl can be the town bicycle or the guy can be the player, but there were grave consequences dealt by society. people in general were more happy.
