Why is it so difficult to understand that sometimes men just want to be left alone? It's a safe place for a man to just go and be a man for an hour, without worrying about anything.
Maybe it's a cigar and a glass of bourbon with your feet up and watching the ball game for an hour, while you're getting your hair cut in relative peace and quiet?
Maybe it's a place to go for someone who's suffered some sort of abuse at the hands of a woman, and is now just thankful that there's at least one place he can go and feel completely relaxed, other than his own one-room apartment.
Or it could be a small place where everyone knows each other and the clientele is really more like a large club where you'll some guys at a table playing cards, or some other guys watching a football game. A place where guys don't always go just to get a haircut, but can go just to hang out for an hour or two and socialize.
The point being, men have the same equal right to feel safe as women do. End of story.
