Yes there is. It is called a social contract.

"Social contract" is a term people use to try and bully people into things they never agreed to. Non-imaginary contracts require acceptance.

The essential elements of a social contract:

- I want it to be true real bad

- Other people are forced to comply with it

- I dictate the terms unilaterally

That's not how people use it, such as the person I replied to. There was no consent, explicit or otherwise. They use it to mean "I want things to be this way, so people should be obligated to a rule I made up because 'society'".

Ironic because you just made up your own definition yourself
