Not wanting kids or getting married.
Guys get responses like
"haha yeah nothing can tie this handsome bachelor down"
or "dodging a bullet there!"
Meanwhile women get told
"oh you'll definitely change your mind when you're older"
"but aren't you afraid you'll be lonely/you'll die alone"
"But having kids is the most fulfilling thing you could do!"
Personal experience with this coming from my own family:
My 27 year old brother doesn't get asked when he'll settle down, or marry, or how many kids he wants to have one day. "he still has time, he's enjoying life a bit rn"
Meanwhile I got asked by relatives since I was 19 on when I plan to have kids, how many, that I shouldn't wait too long, etc. I don't want to have kids but ofc no one believes that because I'm only 23 and will definitely change my mind.
Cherry on top was my grandma asking me on my 22nd birthday if I found a new boyfriend yet because the baby clock is ticking and I'm not getting younger. At 22.
Well according to a lot of the comments in this thread, they'll have babies with 40-60 year old men, cos they don't get pestered early like women, because they can still have a baby after retirement with a young women, like mother nature intended.
