May have a point...?
Dude, she has THE point - Ippon, full score, touché!

"All those flowers and designs," said Christina Hoff Sommers, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. It's no wonder men aren't comfortable at home, she says, with overdesigned, "feminized spaces that are being imposed on them" by the women in their lives. "They're going to want to push back."
Sommers, who is well-known for her critiques of feminism, may have a point.
Men are increasingly creating small private domains in and around their houses -- in sheds, basements, attics and closets -- as a way of retreating from everyday life.
James Twitchell, author of the just published "Where Men Hide," doesn't agree that women are to blame. But he sees it as a positive development and has built a shed of his own near his summer home in Vermont.
Vince Jones, a 33-year-old real estate salesman in Rocklin, California, has turned a prefab shed into his personal fight studio. "I practice Shoshu kung fu and Brazilian jujitsu," said Jones, who stages regular bouts in his backyard retreat with other men. "I originally wanted a Shaolin Temple with a curved roof, but that proved to be too difficult."
