Things I hate today, an incomplete list:

1. products that blame you for not being good/smart/creative/whatever enough if you don't like them
2. "man cave"
3. anti-feminists
4. pointless rules
5. ineffective systems
6. yellow mustard

I'm actually having a great day, but all those things can DIAF.

What's on your list?

Let me be clear: I don't object to people having particular spaces for different uses, or to be alone in a shared residence. I object specifically to the "man cave" phenomenon, and the naming and marketing thereof.

That's why I asked. I don't watch commercial TV or read many magazines aimed at men so I wasn't familiar with it as a consumer meme.

My office/library/workroom was christened the man cave without my participation. Partially because it's filled with the looming Victorian furniture and study decor I bought when I was living alone, and partially because it's, well, a cave, dark and very quiet without much outside light. The other office is in the open air in the living room loft and therefore more treehouse-like. I couldn't work there; M. thrives in it. How that ties to our respective genders or our purchasing is pretty limited, but I never thought we were the demographic to which you were objecting.
