Being able to be frozen in place as a young adult in your heart of hearts is totally a privilege.
Also, you're constrained by the judgment of others, not actual threats of violence.
Also, you're characterizing immature impulses and desires as though they're "natural" or the "real you." Yeah.

My strong suspicion (I'd almost guarantee this) is women are just as much compelled to suppress themselves, and would rather live quite differently in many regards (or at least from time to time).

Yes, because men will do violence and rape to them. In addition to those terrible societal pressures you have to deal with.

We're all closet hedonists constrained by risk/reward and comfort/excitement calculations.

Your privilege is in the much shorter list of risks and their generally smaller magnitude.
