I agree with you right up to the point you say they never say this to a guy. I'm sure it's different in different places around the world but in the part of America where I live, people say things to both men and women over 35 who don't have children. They either ask them constantly when they are going to have children or they try to convince them they have to, and frequently the older generation uses guilt to encourage them to have children.

mte. The older generation usually picks on the man more from what I've seen.

I'm not sure they "pick" on them more, but it's often assumed that men are the "immature ones" who refuse to "give" their female partner a child. I know people quite frequenntly assume this is the case in my relationship.

Just to jump in on this point, yeah, it can be seen as a way of questioning a man's masculinity, especially if they are married or in a long-term relationship and they haven't "managed" to get their partner pregnant.

One of my close male friends gets harassed by his mom all the time about having children and he's only 25, and unmarried

His mom sounds like a psycho.

Haha yeah...

And let's not act like it's strangers here. Your parents want grandkids. They want to be that grandparent they remember. Maybe it's selfish, but it's in no way meant to be the kind of shaming people make it out to be.
