[About an article on Fox News called "5 Things you can only put in a man cave."]
WTF? Now a man can't even have a SINGLE god damn room free of twat influence in his house (which he probably pays for), while she takes over the rest of the whole damn place? Absolutely disgusting. Feminists have the nerve to say that women are oppressed by men but write articles like this and don't see what this does to marginalize men? This is almost like satire. Men are just stupid, make no sense, and can't do anything right. So we lady folk have to step in and fix their dumb mistakes in their petty stupid little man caves.
Only in the mind of a dumb feminist does a SINGLE ROOM inside a house that man makes his own, while the women has free reign and control all over the rest of the house, "dis-empower" women.

Looked at the article and it's pretty harmless. However, I sympathise with this guy's main point: Those kinds of articles are usually patronising towards men and full of stereotypes. We're so dumb and shallow. All we do is play videogames and watch football and think about sex. That kinda thing.
There's a hilarious image caption on wikipedia's man cave article:
"Wikipedia man cave with retiree writing articles for Wikipedia."
For some reason that just completely cracked me up.
Dam' right! She's already got the kitchen, plus she has all her toys - vacuum cleaners, irons, clothes driers and stuff - all over the house. Plus she gets to clean the bathrooms, make the beds and dust the living room. What does the guy get? A lousy section of the basement for a Foosball table, a big-screen and a beer fridge! And he doesn't even get that to himself: she's still gotta come down there to deliver the chips and pizza! [/sarcasm]
As a woman, I do believe that the concept of a "Man Cave" is eyeroll-worthy at best, insulting to men at worst. However, I wouldn't say that the idea of a Man Cave is "feminist" at all-- if men and women are truly equal, they should be able to share a house without having to shunt either one off to a single room.
Also, just stay the hell away from women if you don't want any "twat" influence, how about it? We'd appreciate it greatly.

There is the clashing of personalities and hobbies to consider. It's not uncommon for two people in a relationship to need a moment's peace away from each other or a sanctum for each person to call their own, such as a reading room, an artist's studio, a private gym, or something as simple as a quiet room with a table for card games or crafts.
Where this gets sexist is attributing certain activities and interests broadly to one gender and assuming them so utterly intolerable to the other they will attempt to banish them from daily life.
Why all the hate on MGTOW? Sure, there are some retarded posts, but what forum doesn't? The basic idea behind the website is alright, IMO - screw greedy gold-diggers and family values - work, get money and enjoy life, traveling the world and generally having a good time.
Well, Wut, it's basically a giant hateful, misogynist circle-jerk. Does that serve as an adequate mansplanation as to why these forever alone imbeciles should be hated?

That is very true, and you articulate my feelings on the matter better than I did. I totally understand that people want their own space for their hobbies and personal interests, it's just the idea that "all men must need a separate room to do their super manly sports things that their wives hate" that I find utterly stupid.
"Only in the mind of a dumb feminist does a SINGLE ROOM inside a house that man makes his own, while the women has free reign and control all over the rest of the house, "dis-empower" women."
Hmm... this fool seems to think that any influence at all = total control. By that argument, every single room in the house would be a Man Cave and there would be no woman cave at all.
I would add that when my (last) ex's idea of a "man cave" was storing twenty pound cans of black powder, smoking while he handled it, and talking about suicide by cop, I had him taken away. After a couple months quilted vacation, we get along fine...from a distance of two thousand miles.

Speak for yourself, brah!
Don't worry, Invisible Man...keep this attitude up and you will be free of "twat" influence--trust me!
"This is almost like satire."
This post is exactly like satire, in the sense that if I made up shit to make you look bad, it wouldn't make you look as bad as the shit you really wrote.
It is satire, and you're stupid.
@Wut: Er, the thread in question was started by a mod called Womanhater whose title is "Unapologetic misogynist" and whose signature is "I am John Galt". Yeah, with forum staff like that I'm not sure why anyone would think that website is a cesspool of self-aggrandising impotent sexist tantrums either.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
