How accurate you would say the whole ”women are choosing to be single” is?

There a lot of articles these days and my social media (could be algorithm, I know) seems to be full of women saying they rather stay single and comments filled with saying the same thing. Or big talks how women won’t tolerate awfyl behaviour/men anymore.

But, I gotta say, I’m not seeing this in real life. All the women I know are or want to be in relationships. I don’t know one strong or independent woman (nor a man for that matter). And many tolerate awful men and behaviour.

So, I don’t really understand why news keep pushing headline like this? Is it to try and provoke and anger men? Can someone explain?

I’ve been single for the last 13yrs and raised my children alone since the youngest was 2yo.

I chose to be single as I actively wanted to avoid my children having a step parent and blended families. However at nearly 50 I am envious of those in good, loving relationships. Listening to the number of people who seem to be in poor ones does put me off though and I’m not sure how easy I’d find it to share a life with another adult at this point.
