Poor little mans in their man caves

How come the kitchen and laundry room aren’t male spaces?

I was starting to roll my eyes at it until the "home he owns" part. Both our names are on the deed to our house, as I imagine is the case with the majority of married/partnered homeowners. What a tool.

Right from when we're little kids, we're taught to share, and to say please and thank you, and to have consideration for other people's needs in the home. At what point does the male assume that he has the right to opt out?

Having said that, most people need their own space sometimes. This guy is only voicing (OK, typing!) his feelings the same as tired mothers voice their wish to be allowed to pee uninterrupted.

If the man owns and pays for the house himself then maybe he should live in it alone. He can decorate according to his likes, do his own laundry, cleaning, etc.

The house HE owns and paid for, huh?

The house we lived in for 20 years, until we moved last year, was bought by ME before I ever met him, using MY money as a down payment, and had MY furnishings in it. We both work and pay the bills in OUR house.

Such bullshit.

Wow. His wife is just the luckiest woman in the whole wide world, isn't she? I'd turn his underwear inside out and roll it through poison ivy before folding it and putting it in his dresser.

Sounds like somebody got told to get his workout bag out of the middle of the living room floor and put his dirty clothes in the hamper ... again!

In my opinion, a man is very lucky to have a man cave, just the same way a woman is very lucky to have a craft room.  My DH has his tools and things that need storage.  He is pretty much in charge of the shed and the room in our basement with the furnace.  My craft space is in a corner of our living room.  When our children grow up and move out, then hopefully both of us can spread out a little more and enjoy more hobby space in our house.

My DH is a very progressive man.  He appreciates that I work and contribute to our household.  And he was truly the most proud person at my graduation with a Master's degree.  But recently I painted my kitchen.  He weighed in, but he was a little worried about the orange color I picked out.  He ended up liking it, but his comment was that he was glad I was happy with it because *I* spend more time in there and it's more important to me than it is to him.  And I am wondering if there are just some differences between the sexes, the mindset of men and women, based on some of our self-defined roles in our families. 

I'm not making a comment on whether or not I found the tweet in the OP sexist.  But just saying, I think there are a lot of things in our life that we can either look at as sexist or we can accept that there are differences between the sexes.  Maybe this man feels like his wife has boxed him out as far as the decorating in his home goes.  Maybe he feels like a lot of women have taken on such a dominant role in their households that they don't consider their man's opinion when choosing things for their home.   And I admit, I am very sensitive to this issue, because my ex didn't care what I did to the home.  He didn't seek to give input at all. My current DH at first irritated me because he does care.  It was a reality check for me.  Maybe I pushed ex to the man cave without even realizing I did it. 

Since I claimed the entire basement for my own space (and it’s huge, nice and finished) I can’t complain about the fact that there is a deer head and wildlife art hanging in the family room or a 9’ long sailfish on the wall of what would be most people’s formal living room. DH has claimed most of the four car garage for his tools and assorted other stuff that’s too grimy to live in the actual house and he’s perfectly fine with that arrangement. He also has an office in the house that is cluttered up with his work stuff and some dead fish on the walls. I’d say we’re about even.   

I have no idea who Matt Walsh is, and our house is in both our names even though it's my husband's childhood home. In reality he doesn't need his own space, but I will admit the whole house is really more reflective of how I want to be decorated. The furniture, the colors etc. It's way more about my aesthetics then his. I am not sure if that is what this guy is saying or not.

For example we went sofa shopping and the only sofa he truly loved was literally the ugliest one in the showroom. Yeah, not happening in our den or living room. If he really wants it then it would be put in a garage to be honest.

I can't stand that guy either. So fucking "right" all the time.

Well, I have a husband and three sons, (one has moved out). Sometimes I think my whole house is some kind of prehistoric man-cave. And sometimes they clean up after themselves.

Well my craft room is the back end of our bedroom so I can't craft late at night. There's this part of the basement which has these things called tools but I have a hard time to even find a screw driver when I need one. I keep a screw driver and a hammer in the dinning room area so I can find one when I need it. DH has said he wants to claim the small spare bedroom as his "office" since it is no longer used as a toy room. It's been a year. He even has the little desk he needs to put together still in the box. Instead he is using the one end of the dinning room table and his stuff is spread on the shelves where I keep kitchen stuff that doesn't fit in our tiny kitchen. And yes, he will complain if we are noisy. Well he wouldn't hear us if he set up the spare room. If I have to fix up the spare room, I'm moving my craft stuff THERE.

My husband and I see marriage as a real partnership it’s our house, our money ,our life and I believe that my husband will also agreed that Matt Walsh is a Neanderthal .
