this has been on my mind a lot. I follow some lesbian meme shitposting groups and there's tons of memes that are just like "This girl looked at me and I died and then she smiled at me and I came back to life" and I just cannot think of any cishet men's spaces that bring that have that level of absolutely dorky dysfunctional love for women. And, like, cishet men, their whole thing is supposed to be being in to women, and that just strikes me as really weird that there's not an equivalent. Like the closest I can think of is wife guy memes but that's just one wife, usually.

Do any spaces like that exist? Is it even possible given the way gender works in society?

    i just learned not so long ago the concept of "man cave" where they have rules like "no women allowed here" which in my opinion, sounds everything but het. but for some reason, it is considered very manly and very het

      Man Cave isn't defined by being "no girls allowed" its just a spare room where the man puts all his toys. Usually its the only room which he has creative control over. As in the woman would have creative control over the rest of the house. You also don't have a man cave without the presence of a woman. Otherwise its all just a bachelor pad.

      Its like an affluent middle age suburbanite thing. Most often theres only one guy in it.
