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.

Avert? Not before I raise a bemused eyebrow. ;-)

[Tax-chick]

He was el mas macho.

[MeshugeMikey]

Ah okay then what about the term CAVE MAN? is that to become TABOO as well??

[Dr. Sivana]

I do not care for the term, “man cave”. When I was a lad, the man’s room in the house was his den. Women weren’t explicitly denied access, it didn’t have to labeled “man” the way a public restroom might, any more than a bedroom vanity has to be labeled “woman”. In both cases, the purpose is obvious.

[Roger Kaputnik]

Don’t doubt that one bit.

[Kudsman]

Oops sorry. Not Kate. That would be Ms. Ruidas.

[G Larry]

Thus the need for the Man-Cave....

[Walrus]

Time to bring back beating women until morale improves.

A garage? I had one once, now the Wife has it packed with stuff.

Lol. Crazy bimbos. In my house, everything is decorated and arranges as my wife, queen of the hive, wants it. She manages the house day to day ops. I follow orders, do maintenance and help as needed. That’s her role in our marriage. I provide for and protect the family. We both are very involved and active in raising, coaching, teaching and disciplining our kids.

I have a man cave. It’s a part of the garage. It’s my shop with my tools and stuff. The only thing the wife does in there is place items that need repair or maintenance. But it is my space. My man cave.

SF feminists can go suck start a Kenworth for all I care.

I have an area in my basement that I call my ‘man cave’ (I’m straight married female) where I keep my workbench, mechanics tools, power tools and gun reloading equipment. My husband, MrR tends to find it offensive that I call it that but he has a right.

[reaganaut]

Very few women sew and thus have ‘sewing rooms’ it is considered ‘unfeminist’. Those who do sew tend to be interested in costume or design like me.

I have both a large sewing room and a ‘man cave’.

And no note about ISIS sex slaves, nothing more about Boko Haram’s kidnapped Christian girls except an old hash tag recycling.

A friend has the HWHC. We play poker and watch football there. No girls allowed.

I think it’s a dumb phrase.
