Peer pressure is what caused feeble-minded women to agree to wear burkas, or bind their feet, or to tight-lace their corsets until they couldn't breathe or eat properly, or to wear bras that made their boobs stick out like torpedoes, or to wear mini-skirts in the dead of winter. .
Now they all wear masks and deprive themselves of water to ward off the mysterious China virus.
It's interesting you used "peer pressure" here, when, actually, those women were usually put to death and/or tortured first before being put to death for ignoring the orders of their Masters (the men they were married off to.)
I'd hardly call that "peer pressure." More like, a slave society that puts women at bottom of the society ladder.
I can assure you, after travelling the Muslim world while serving in the U.S. Navy, that these women who wear burkhas, etc are not succombing to "peer pressure." Unless you consider "peer pressure" to be a forceful use of tyranny to keep certain demographics from achieving their best.
True. Japanese women who refused to bind their feet were ostracized and couldn't find a husband. Also it started when they were little girls so they probably didn't have a lot of choice in the matter.

That custom was fucked up.
It's the equivalent of hobbling them.
