It's not just the pitch. After all, there's so much force exerted that the society isn't set up to require that the women buy in. Part of the underpinning is underestimating women and what they can do in this situation.

I contend that what the Aunt pitched is the fantasy of the power structure in Gilead. They are the powerful and their expression of power is to enforce the acting out of their fantasy. Part of their fantasy is that the women involved are happy for it.
