Don't think I can buddy. I'm a woman. A non-custodial mom and someone who "gets it." I have more male friends than female friends for sure. I really do mean what I said though. I do appreciate what good men bring to the space and I do encourage healthy environments for growth of those good things.
Now if we can only get women to communicate their feelings in a non-blaming way.... :)
@miklkent I guessed that you were a woman! :) - Women can come in too you know. It's for the empowerment of men, yes, but women can totally be involved too. Some of the largest strides I've made in my life I couldn't have done without some solid woman-friends in my sphere. I'm a great believer in that the sexes compliment each other, rather than create friction.
Oh, the blaming, yes! Haha. Well, some men could do with help in that area too ;)
I appreciate the invite, but I know the purpose of man-caves. It's OK for women TO NOT be there and more women need to understand that. If they understood the true purpose of it, women wouldn't feel so insecure about it.
For any woman who's read this who may disagree with me, just watch this. A Tale of Two Brains...
Good men in good man-caves are A GOOD THING.
Women, if you don't believe me, feel free to read "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." Yeah, seriously, do it.
My best, best, bestest friend ever who is a man -- sometimes goes into this "man-cave" for TWO months at a time. And I have to remind and reassure myself he will come back out and everything will be OK.
And he does and it is. And he loves me for it. Well, you know, not that way....
@miklkent All fine. You're totally right - you don't need to be in here. I'm sorry if you feel pressurised into being in here -- that was not my intention! :)
I'm not a fan of that book - men are from mars. I'm more a fan of what Allan and Barbara Pease had to say about our differences!

I didn't feel pressured and I'll be sure to add that one to my library. :)
