We also see it in dramatizations of flings or one-night stands, where the woman is often characterised as being distraught when the man doesn't pursue a relationship with her after a sexual encounter.
I think this is kind of where the slut-shaming comes in. We treat sex as something men enjoy physically, but something a woman does out of obligation or weakness, which turns the woman into the victim of her sexual partner regardless of consent.

Yup and I wonder how and when this started because earlier in the thread we talked about tribal times where the woman was seeking pleasure and showing the men how pleasureable it really is to get more men!
There must be a point in history.
