This is a combination of a "stiff upper lip" attitude and stifling behaviour towards someone else. Making someone do something without giving them a choice (they are stiffing them of a choice!).
A school assigning pupils to do an extra curricular activity. (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) The pupil has no choice and has to commit time outside school hours to the activity. The school is therefore being stiffling.
