Now to be serious for a short time. There was a carpenter, near here, his first name was Frances. Frances was of slight build, and spoke softly. He built houses mostly alone, but two local men would help him from the time they got off work at 5 until after dark.
When he said something about building, I paid heed because I knew he was right.

I don't know where you are going with that, but being a man has nothing to do with tone of voice, build etc. It's all in actions, decisions, intentions, deeds.

Every man knows that.
Generally, thats what short, slightly built soft spoken men would say......
Seventy five years ago "man card" wasn't required as all knew what they were without certification...now there is so much ambiguity the card is required so that one can wake up in the morning reach across and check what he or she is.
And that is just for males, females are a whole other different ballgame.
I believe it has to do with the "man cave" which I also do not understand.
That one is simple enough Dave, "man cave" is American for "shed"....you wouldn't know this as you have not been exposed to English.
The small buildings where I keep firewood, lawn mowers, yard tools and junk that needs to be thrown away. Those are sheds.
Correct...and in the English speaking world they are a man's sole avenue of escape, a tranquil void if you will where whiny women dare not venture for fear of occurring rightful wrath.

That why one needs: lots of land[get out of hearing range without leaving 'home'] or a tractor, or both[preferably].
i got my man card in the mail in 1968. it said something about greetings, neighbors, and the president. every garage i have had had a space that the wife was afraid to enter so i guess you could call that my man cave. she just calls it the junk room

Also correct, but apart from rural Australia and rural America, where else can one achieve this blissful nirvana...don't bother considering the Canucks as they are already frozen husks.
When you do shรฎt like maintain hummingbird feeders or brag about your favorite Pyrex casserole dish, or your lab reports revealing Low T, admitting that you pay Jiffy Lube to change your oil, etc, etc and other offenses
Any of those such topics discussed ON A HUNTERS/SHOOTERS WEBSITE, we start punching holes in it.
Holes equate to loss of paper, diminshing amount of real estate of the card. Eventual revocation of all things considered masculine about your person.

Other than the first name, that could pretty well describe Audie Murphy's physical appearance and demeanor...

Your English seems fantastic. Congratulations.
The criteria you lay out for "man cave", is my world. I'm thankful to not need a hideout.

That is the early version.
It is reasonably good, but I have an advantage in that I was schooled by Nuns who would have reamed my arse with their boot had I even dared not speak correctly.
I had a room that had a couch, all my reloading stuff, memorabilia and such, air conditioned and a full bath... over the garage, MY garage, that held my truck, tools, work bench, shelves, yard stuff, mowers and such. The wifes car was NEVER in that garage, she parked in the one attached to the house....
Several people referred to it as my Man Cave............
I called it the Mens Room............
It was NOT a place to hide or take shelter.... It was a room for MEN.

Congratulations...you have made it.
If you have no land, you turn the garage into a shop, with power tools loud enough you need to wear earmuffs. Keep lots of sharp dangerous objects scattered around. Call it "man cave" or whatever you like. It can be as peaceful as the woods.
I have spare bedroom with reloading bench, ammo cabinets, liquor cabinet, hunting clothes, buckets of broken arrowheads, camping gear,
It is not what I call a man cave. Too much disorganization in that room
I have a 20 x 20 florida room with most of my whitetail mounts, pool table, 65" tv, recliner sofa and chair. Mini fridge with cold drinks, freezer right outside the door with ice cream and Titos.
When I think of the term "man card", I mostly think of LIEberals using it as a negative term (like "mansplaining"). Anything remotely masculine is a threat to LIEberal urbanites, butch lesbians and lisping butt munchers. F-EM!
As far as a "man cave" goes, for me it's my gun room, for others it might be the garage, a shed, a room for tying flies, a pool room, basement bar, etc., etc. Basically a place to get away from others, and do what you enjoy doing. I have no problem with the term "she shed", as females deserve a place to do what they want to do too.
As an aside, unless you time traveled from Scotland and the time of William Wallace, NO MAN should be caught wearing a man bun (aka top knot). -TomT
they don't issue man cards anymore. Per a quick Google there are now 112 different genders and a potential for more. It all got too confusing.
Man cave - any space not usually used for human habitation which has a large screen TV with sports channel access and an old refrigerator modified to chill kegs complete with a tap on the door.
Every American male starts out with a man card. You have to be careful as you can lose it for many unmanly deeds such as wearing crocs, watching soap operas or buying a Subaru.

I slip my crocs on for something almost daily, I guess I'm out.
A man card is what you get issued at gender reveal party. One of many possible cards. But they expire and you can re-apply for something else every 5 years. In case you change your mind.
Jim Iโve heard itโs a party where they divulge the sex of a pregnant womanโs baby. Perhaps it means something else in another part of the country.
Damn right Samo, like me last fall restacking a pile of bagged deer corn in the c store the crackhead Coke a Cola guy knocked over with his dolly, one of the old ladies behind the counter said, oh my god, I think I just came out of menapause?, I didn't even know what in hell they were laughing about, I called and ask mom, you know you still got it when you're turning on the 75 year olds.

Me sooo horny Gunner.......
I really went to town on the ol' Toyota today. All of this junk fits in the backseat of the manly Prius......
do you need a man card cuzz your wife makes you wear flip flops in the yard cuzz she is tired of wiping up blood off the tile floors when you walk across the concrete wash out in the driveway .[ asking for a friend ]

If your wife can MAKE YOU do anything your man card is revoked. Flip flops for any reason is grounds for permanent revocation. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
A real man wears Crocs while vacuuming his wife's Subaru. While listening to NPR.

So long as it's his wifes Subaru, nobody but the wife see's him wearing the crocs and he's never seen actually driving it himself it's OK. If any of these rules are broken it's instant and permanent revocation. No appeals.
Wait...let me guess nobody knows wtf that is either?
Pitiful
I was waiting for someone else to ask.
Is it bigger than a breadbox? They still have bread boxes, right, or have the metro-sexuals taken over that too and now we have Sucrets sized bread boxes? Do they still make Sucrets or are there Tic Tac sized ones now? Tic Tacs are gone too? Oh, ok.
