women aren't stupid, really

[insaneneko]

A man talks through his ass in Is that a purse or an overnight bag? and offends a whole bunch of women with the way he worded his post. He could have started a constructive dialogue on how to streamline what a person (male OR female) carries on a regular basis, but instead does the tired old "sensible man telling the silly women what's the logical and right thing to do" line. I wonder if the OP will respond to the commments he's gotten. He really only can do a mea culpa, and then either apologize or explain what he really meant to say. If he says anything at all. *shrugs*

In any case, I had to laugh at one comment about being ashamed to have such a small bag it's obvious they aren't carrying a book. The smallest everyday bag I will carry nowadays has to fit a book as well as my wallet, cell phone, ipod, keys, etc. It's hard to imagine not having a book handy at all times...

Yep. Must fit a book.

Never leave home without it.

That aside...how many men will critique the luggage a woman totes but think nothing of handing her the camera, map, his sunglasses, keys ...etc....to carry, because he doesn't have a pocket.

I have actually DOWNsized my purse now that the youngest is capable of carrying his own crap, but mothers are the packmules of the family and guys don't get it.

I actually buy my purse(s) very specifically ~ just big enough for a paperback novel, wallet, cell and a few pockets for needful things ~ but nothing else. I will NOT carry the mans'stuff anymore because like the children...he's old enough to drag around his OWN luggage.

:P

See, the sensible men have it all figured out. When they need to carry more stuff than can fit their pockets? Get their girlfriends/wives to carry it for them! Brilliant! *eyerolls*
