Woman: "I don't need a man! I'm tired of all these one night stands and guys hitting me up on Facebook and Tinder! I'm going my own way focusing on what makes me happy, my career, my hobbies, paying for my own drinks!"

Society: "YEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!! YOU GO, GIRL!!!! YOU'RE A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN!!! MEN ARE TRASH!!! FIGHT THE PATRIARCHY!!!!"

Man: "I don't need a woman for validation and after a string of relationships with abusive manipulative women who drained me emotionally and financially (still paying child support to a kid who might not be mine) I've decided to focus on my own happiness, my career, my hobbies. I don't hate women but I will make little effort to deal with them directly in the future."

Society: "BOOOOOO!!!! MISOGYNIST!!! VIRGIN!!!! INCEL!!!! YOU'RE JUST AFRAID OF STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMEN WHO DON'T NEED YOU!!!! MEN ARE TRASH!!! NOW GO FIND A WOMAN BEFORE WE LABEL YOU CREEPY AND HAVE YOU REGISTERED AS A POTENTIAL SEX OFFENDER!!!!"

Hyperbole, yes but not by much.
