Also, imagine a father telling his son “You need to get a good job and learn how to dress well, or else no woman will want to marry you.” Is this statement similarly objectionable? If so, why?
Partially. It isn’t as objectionable because when this was said to me, and I replied “Well, I don’t want to get married”, nobody tried to tell me that I was wrong to think so.

I’d say that’s probably the crux of the matter.
