Both Jig and Mary seek approval in others. For Jig, it's through her relationship-- constantly conforming to her partners needs, and doesn't have a voice to disagree. As for Mary, she constantly seeks approval in her church. Her entire self esteem relies on how the church and God itself view her actions.

In Young Sheldon, abortion was never ever brought up as an option to resolve an unplanned pregnancy, and even considered a taboo. On the contrary, Jigs s/o suggests abortion. Jig goes along and agrees with him even though it wasn't really what she wanted. Both Mandy's and Mary's stance on abortion wasn't addressed, but how would their life be different if they took the procedure into consideration like Jig? Do all three women set an example of how we conform to men and consider their wants and needs before themselves?

louise had been trapped by her relationship, feeling held back by her husband. similarly, mary and her husband in young sheldon often times butt heads beacuse of their opposing views and wants. while mary cares for religion and staying in town with her family, her husband wants to advance his career and move away. both of these women lack the freedom needed to become happy
