Oh, the implications are there, especially as the greater picture develops. Nothing about the importance of personal responsiblity, hard as it is, no it's that the woman in your life is FORCING YOU and therefore you're losing your independence, somehow, as if you haven't the sense that most children actually have that if you don't pick up your filthy underwear you will RUN OUT OF UNDERWEAR.
I know women who, because they don't know how to make a firm request of someone they feel is in authority or because they don't know any other way to ask for what they need, actually fully endorse nagging people in their lives as They Only Way.
But, because I'm a really angry person with ZERO conflict resolution skills, I fall to passive aggressive methods of getting my way, which for some people is equal to or worse than endless nagging.
Both passive aggressive methods and nagging come out of the same root, though, ultimately women often feel there is NO OTHER WAY to express their basic needs of having their space respected. Whereas men make certain expectations of women's hygiene, behavior, tastes, looks, etc. etc. etc. and when those aren't met they respond in a huge range of ways from whining like toddlers to physical violence and threats. Whining is no better than nagging, it is basically nagging's evil twin, and aggression is actually worse than passive aggression (which never gave anyone a black eye).
And a lot of times, women who do express themselves well are brow beaten by men who don't want to change their behavior, grow up, or respect another person's space into thinking that expressing your wants and needs is being a nagging bitch. And that. THAT. is what's so truly, truly fucked up.
