Remove the block from layout files so it doesn't show on any page and login to your admin go to CMS >> Pages >> edit homepage and from left select Design and place the block code there in the left reference. like:

<reference name="left">
  <block type="catsidebarnav/catsidebarnav" name="left.catsidebarnav" before="-"> <action method="leftSidebarBlock" /> </block>
</reference>

Magento 1.9 Category Navigation – View All Display

The "View All ..." link for categories comes from app/design/frontend/rwd/default/template/page/html/topmenu/renderer.phtml and it is built to point to the main category. This is the piece of code that generates it.

if (!empty($_hasChildren)) {
    $html .= '<ul class="level'. $childLevel .'">';
    $html .=     '<li class="level'. $nextChildLevel .'">';
    $html .=         '<a class="level'. $nextChildLevel .'" href="'. $child->getUrl() .'">';
    $html .=             $this->__('View All ') . $this->escapeHtml($this->__($child->getName()));
    $html .=         '</a>';
    $html .=     '</li>';
    $html .=     $this->render($child, $childrenWrapClass);
    $html .= '</ul>';
}

One way can be Set all other categories apart from Men to

Include in Navigation menu = No

Or You can also do via code customization:

You will need to modify the code:

<?php

    $catId              = 'Your Men Category Id';
    $category           = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($catId);
    $childCategories    = $category->getChildrenCategories();
    foreach($childCategories as $_category){
        print_r($_category->getData());
    }

This will give you all sub-categories of Men category
