Your room name is hurting people.
According to a recent student op ed, a bro-dude calling a room in his house a “man cave†is not just obnoxious but truly harmful to women and a “disgusting patriarchal myth.â€
“While I think it’s perfectly acceptable, and even healthy, to have separate spaces where one can enjoy time alone, the gendered language around ‘man cave’ is pretty gross,†Kalani Ruidas writes in a piece for Golden Gate Xpress, San Francisco State University’s official student newspaper.
Lest you think that what a dude decides to call a room in his own house isn’t hurting anyone, Ruidas wants you to know that the idea of a “man cave†amounts to a “passive dig at femininity†— yes, the very idea of femininity! — because it’s like saying that “women are such a burden that they’re restricted from that zone.â€
(Of course, some people might think that some rooms are called “man caves†just because they’re filled with traditionally “man-like†things. However, intelligent people know that this could not be the case because gender roles obviously do not exist.)
“They’re the makings of a shrine to big business that has man-cavers nostalgic for a time when they were happy . . . guys should get over the feudalistic idea of a man cave allowing them to be the ‘lord of their manor’ in a room they can call their own,†Ruidas explains in her piece, which is titled “Man Caves Perpetuate Patriarchy.â€
In addition to perpetuating patriarchy, Ruidas argues, “man caves†can also make racism worse . . . because “a man cave is a place where a man devolves into a grunting subhuman that leaves sexist and racist comments on message boards

Feminists must have wonderful lives if they can’t find anything more serious to complain about than this.
Perhaps the “Man cave” can be less offensive to feminists if the occupants have gay sex./heavy sarcasm
Masculine Cavern??
Would a woman’s sewing room in turn be harmful to men?
On one side, we have complaints about the burden of college debt. On the other side, we have people majoring in “queer studies” and “gender studies” and “women’s studies” and spending their lives whining about microaggressions and political correctness without contributing to the world. Chances are no one on the left sees the connection between wasting their time on nonsense and being unable to pay their debts.
Offensive to whom?
Offended? ...good.
Weftist Weenie Woosers
I assume “Cave Man” is also offensive. What about “Cave Person” and “Person Cave” ? /s;)
Can’t we have one small portion of the house to call ours??
Remember how a few years ago the feminists were all upset that women’s rooms tended to be located a few steps further down the hall than men’s rooms?
So I’ve noticed now that when there are restrooms located in a little hall off a main room (like in a restaurant) the woman’s room tends to be first.
Which means that any man who is on his way to use the facilities has to avert his eyes if someone comes out of the women’s room as he’s passing.
My dad has a cool man cave - always like to be ‘invited’ to watch sports and movies. And he has a great popcorn machine and bar.
I am offended by the word “College”
I have done worse than kill you.... I have HURT you. And I wish to go on HURTING YOU. I shall leave you as you left me.... buried in the center of a lifeless planet.... buried alive..... buried alllivvveee......
Just change it to Safe Space for Men. Ooops, are men allowed to have safe spaces? White, heterosexual men?
That question would probably get a person expelled for many colleges these days.
Any man that caves to that blather deserves to be bannished to th women’s sewing circle.
It's usually the garage where guys fix stuff for wives. The best definition of a husband I've heard is "A gardener with sex privileges."
If I’m an employer and I have a job opening, and have a choice between a college-educated person and one with just a high school diploma I’m picking the one with the high school diploma. Our colleges are turning out braindead idiots and filling their minds with mush.
No, it’s where we drag the women in by their hair....and have them clean it up.
I honestly can’t believe the things these ‘tards complain about. How the he!! do twits like this get accepted to a university?
