The Loss of Guy Space

iirc, there has been some discussion of this at the Thinking Housewife and Dr. Helen; Jack Donovan recounts his own experience with women who sought to prove themselves at the expense of guy space: The Soft Shutdown. A good woman will respect the fact that her man needs to spend some time with other men, because men and women are different, and the claims of husbands and wives being "best friends" notwithstanding, there are some conversations and activities men can effectively have only with other men.
