Ladies and gents chime in: New generation of women state they really dont need a man and that theyre a waste of time. List below and thoughts?

I need men but I don't need a romantic relationship with anyone. I enjoy being single and love it...most my friends are men though.

For me, it’s never been about needing a man. I’m quite independent and have always been able to take care of myself. My relationships with men have always come about out of wanting to be together and enriching each other’s lives.

I didn’t need a man as I was being cared for by family but I much prefer it now I have one as I don’t feel a Burden any more

I’ve lived without any man in my life romantically for going on 3.5 years. I like the attention but i don’t really miss anything else. Unfortunately most of the guys in my life were also interested in other men 😂.

One hundred years ago these words/thoughts would have been heretical, today not so much, but I'm wondering where those thoughts will be 50-100 years from now.

I think we are in a time where women are experiencing, or at least beginning to experience freedoms and rights their not-too-distant female relatives never dreamed of.

Men don't need women either (minus populating the planet), but have always ruled the world and so abused their relationships with women.

I do think most of us (men and women) enjoy or want an equal relationship with another, but we haven't got to the equal part yet.

I think in time we will, and I think then those thoughts may, at that point, be quite different.

It’s so important that women are educated and able to support themselves because so many relationships go south and we are left to support ourselves and our kids, often with no financial support from the father.

You need sperm to do ivf 😆

Sounds like men gotta step up.

Like Cher said, men are a nice addition. But not necessary.

It's true that women can be completely independent, but the wording in that list sort of comes off like an angsty teen. I think more women don't want to be as tied down like previous generations thinking that is what they have to do. I get that.

It's interesting.
Men have never needed women either (procreation aside), but most men strive for the means to protect and provide for a woman.
Men work to provide for a woman. Women work to become 'independent.'

Why the difference??

I would say item #1 applies to some percentage of males but not all men. I totally agree with item #2 and #3, item #4 is true for a certain percentage of males but not all men and varies by the women considering the male. I totally agree with item #5.

I agree, but am still hopeful to find a husband because I still enjoy the companionship with a man….although dating nowadays is deflating that dream.

It's like having a dog. It's work but it brings companionship and joy. You just have to decide if it's worth it.

I didn't know woman used men at one point. I thought people got married out of companionship needs.

And let's be honest, with our stagnating misogynistic culture, most men ain't worth the hassle.

Men have the same feeling about many women. Nice to have around. But don’t need one.

I asked that question a couple years back?????You don't need males:)

In this economy, don't blame them!

It's better than not being allowed to go to school, staying home and sewing all day, and not having any options.
