A "man cave" is like the weird hetro-obsession with hating your spouse. If you need a special room for all the things you like because the person you're with hates it all - you're with the wrong person. Relationships that make you miserable and lock away your interests are BAD. C'mon now.

We gotta love and support our neighbors. We gotta keep our communities in our hearts. We gotta unlearn "I earned X, why should Y just get it for free?" and replace it with "I have X, how can we help Y realize that same comfort?" Strength is not a show of cruelty, strength is uplifting compassion.

I'm guilty of this myself -- posting and just assuming that if people see it, they see it, and if they don't, it's on them. The horror of Meta (and probably all socials) is the comfortable presumption that affirmative outreach to people you care about isn't necessary. Socials without the social.
