A secluded and generally unencroached mancave that is fundamentally free from female influences is a crucial aspect of every healthy relationship.

Virginia Woolf wrote about a room of one's own from the perspective of the female artist. While a female needs her space to be herself as any human being does, the 21st century concept of the mancave (a kind of room of one's own for men) is not to be overlooked.
