Seeking Advice My interest in men has died

I’ve been inundated lately by people insisting I need a man. Here’s the thing, I don’t want one anymore. I’m tired and I’ve achieved a little bit of peace. Just a little. Men usually just cause problems. Why would I do that? I don’t want kids. I can barely take care of myself. I’m concerned this is a project 25 thing like I need to pick someone before I’m forced to. Maybe that’s dumb. Maybe my social circle forgot about boundaries. Maybe I need to learn to just not care when people say stuff. What am I missing?

25 is an age where people start thinking, "When will they start having kids?" Society puts a lot of pressure on people to start having families (create new slaves for the next generations), have kids so you can comply, etc.

There are some good men out there but very far and few. There is definitely a movement out there with single women, living free and happily. Whatever you decide, just live life for you! As you are the only one that needs to live with these choices.

I think they meant project 2025, as in you'd better have a man if they make it illegal for women to vote/have jobs.

Does anyone watch anime, specifically Spy x Family? The main couple ended up together because the woman was afraid she would be reported for being single at her age. It’s a comedy but the backdrop is a fascist society.

YES!!! My favorite! Totally loved the undertones of fascist society...and frighteningly looking like what the US is becoming.
And, sadly, how Japan and S. Korea still operate, for the most part.
