Quote from Barney in Trilogy Time
Barney: Lily, here's the thing. It's my apartment, and I need to assert my dominance as a man. Robin: Don't ever say that to any girl ever. Barney: Too late. [flashback to Barney and Quinn in his apartment:] Quinn: What did you just say to me? [present:] Robin: She gave up her apartment for you! Lily: You said that to her?! Barney: Okay, you know what? I don't have to sit here and take this from you ladies. I'm going to Ted's. The man cave, where guys can be guys. [later, at Ted's:] Ted: Assert your dominance? Marshall: It's like you have no respect for women. Ted: What is wrong with you? Marshall: You have a mother! Barney: You guys, too? I'm going to the Y for a shvitz.
