I have a tiny basement in a house packed full of stuff that isn’t mine.
There is the big building of useless stuff I carved a little room in but the electricity was cut years ago. I had an electrician look at it and for what it would cost to bring that old place up to code, it wasn’t worth it.
I’ll get a generator when I look to crank up operations there.

Not if you are a man. Especially a white, Christian, straight, conservative man.

If Iâm 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 Iâm picking the one with the high school diploma. I remember one of my first interviews out of college years ago (won't say how many). The guy told me bluntly that he didn't like to hire college kids because they had ego problems. I don't know what his reaction would have been to all this.

I’m a woman and the term doesn’t offend me, what offends me is a bunch of whining ninnies that think they can speak for all of us women. Just go stuff it—you gaggle nincompoops!!!

Say it anyway.
Add “and GFYourself” to the end of it, too.

Yeah, I always thought the term “man cave” was created in order to denigrate men and an attempt by feminist man-haters to try and put men in their place.

if man-cave is bad, I’d hate to hear what they think if I say I’m off to my woman cave.

My entire house is a 'man cave'. I think I'll leave it that way and do what I like in here.

Why don’t they just make their own rooms called “harpy nests”?

Great scene, great line too. Heck, that still-frame would look great enlarged to poster size and hung on the wall of a... (looks around suspiciously)... man cave. You know, next to the vintage pin-ups and reloading charts.
In fact, we could steer the thread in that direction, out of pure spite. What's on the wall of *your* "man cave"?

Any females allowed into "the cave" will have to bring more than dusting supplies and a vacuum cleaner......(if you know what I mean), Reminds me of a bumper sticker on my father's camper: "Gas, grass, or a--; nobody rides for free."
Girls are yucky. Tree houses must also be offensive.

Actually, I agree.
WhyTF should men be relegated to the bowels of the domicile? The man is the king of the castle...I don’t think too many kings hang out in the dungeon.

Yeah, I always thought the term âman caveâ was created in order to denigrate men and an attempt by feminist man-haters to try and put men in their place. I always thought the term was ironic & tongue-in-cheek in the first place.

Article about man caves being offensive is another reason for having a man cave.

May I tell the feminists idiots that we wives are extremely happy to have their husbands retreat to their “man caves”? It’s a respite for both of us. Too much togetherness is not good for a marriage. It creates stress for both trying to agree on everything. Even Jesus “went apart for while”.

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.""I rest my case, Your Honor."
