According to Wikipedia, "A man cave, sometimes a mantuary  or manspace,  is a male sanctuary,such as a specially equipped garage,spare bedroom,  media room,  den,  or basement. It is not a cave but rather a metaphor describing a room inside the house, such as the basement or garage or attic or office, or outside the house such as a wood shed or tool room, where "guys can do as they please" without fear of upsetting any female sensibility about house decor or design."
