I’ve never seen a man shamed for being single. Maybe you’re reading too many feminist articles.
As a single woman for close to a decade, I’ve noticed that single men are invited to more social events, are invited to married couples homes for dinner, and are “adopted,” by several married couples who take care of them.
In fact I don’t know a single single man that does not have two or three couples regularly inviting him over. I have never seen a single woman regularly invited to any couples’s house for dinner or parties. You poor things get taken care of, because that tends to be what women do.
I enjoy the humor here on free republic. But treating men’s needs as biological and women’s needs as a figment of women’s imagination is comically self righteous.
As a matter of biology, however, particularly after a woman bears children but very often long before, the few seconds to lower the seat often results in her not can’t make it in time. Courtesy, such a lost art.
Its not merely regular mainstream articles, its the entire gynocentric culture.
Being single is selfish if you’re a guy. Thats the message thats out there. Or that you’re immature if you don’t want to get married. Or its somehow unfair and wrong if you do not want to get involved with single moms and be responsible for kids that aren’t yours, you just have to step up. Or then they throw out the insults like you must be gay, you must be bitter, you must be ugly and can’t get a woman anyways.
Singleness is empowering and celebrated for wimmin. Not so for guys. Just do any casual reading on it and that’s the general themes you’ll find.

Especially in the actively being pregnant phase, when you have a baby tap dancing on your bladder day and night.
It doesn’t take much activity from that baby to result in an emergency trip to the bathroom.

You nailed it. And it’s a two way street.
Anyone going into a relationship with a *rules for how to live with me* attitude is doomed to a failed relationship.
Ironically, men brag about not needing women and that they are MGTOW, and yet when women do the same, they are accused by men of being men hating, world destroying feminists.
Truth there.
If I am out of town, everyone feels sorry for poor mr. mm and invites him over for a meal so he doesn’t have to cook for himself or be all alone.
When he’s out of town, not a soul does the same for me. Nor any other woman I know of.
It never seems to occur to others that a woman would like the same courtesy.
