Do most people hate you for wanting marriage and kids?

I know not everyone wants to get married and have kids. I know marriage and kids aren't a debate you can win or argue someone into. You want either want them, or you don't. But in the modern day, I feel you are deeply demonized and lynched if you want to get married and have kids. I hate when people say, "You're not entitled to anyone's time or interest just because you want family ". Like, yes, I understand I can't force someone to marry or have kids with me. But the underlying tone of that phrase is basically mocking people who are struggling in dating or who want it. It would be like me going to an autistic person who gets anxious over sounds or baby cries with " you aren't entitled to a child free world, so suck it up and stop being anxious over loud kid cries". Maybe this is mostly the internet, but I feel like modern day is deeply against conventional relationships and the desire for marriage and kids.
