They are doing a poll via email about the man bag. Kilmeade (Brian of fox and friends mornings) says it's a trend, the other two say it is not manly. They are asking people to email their thouights at friends@foxnews.com. I emailed them and wrote that carrying a man bag is "teh ghey" and the only trend in America is the growing number of feminine men. They came back from commercial and ED was crying she was laughing so hard from the responses, everyone should email in. 5 minutes ago they said they only had like 12 responses.

What say YOU?


I say, men should NOT carry a man bag!

At first I thought you meant a bag to place over ugly mens faces. I must really be behind the times. But, to answer your question, man bag not good.

Man bags are for guys who spend their time lying around in tanning beds and waxing themselves.

If so, yeah that's ball sucking gay, no doubt about it.

I work in Chicago and take public transportation, and that said, I could give a shit about man bags. What I hate are those bags with the telescopic handles that people drag six feet behind them, oblivious to the other people who trip over them. Nothing says "pussy" (not to mention "dickhead") like a grown man walking down a crowded city sidewalk dragging a little bag behind him that he could easily carry.

That said, no I wouldn't carry a purse. But I do carry a backpack to work everyday. Pretty much the same concept, except backpacks aren't gay.

Yep.

I carry a backpack with my computer in it. I like hauling it around that way, and sometimes I can pass as a student...............with gray hair.

A lot of guys out here carry messenger bags, which makes sense in NYC since a) you can carry things home from the office in it; b) you're constantly on line or on the subway or similar and need to carry reading material to pass the time.

NYC is a walking city -- we don't have convenient cars to throw our stuff into when we run errands.

Backpacks are purses for men with wimpy shoulders.

“Ooo…that strap hurts my shoulder. I know, I’ll use TWO straps to spread out the load!”

Here’s a clue, “guys,” take the shoulder pads out of a jacket [big shoulders are SO retro] and sew them to the purse strap. Problem solved.

Wimpy shoulders? I'd like to see you tote around four or five textbooks, notebooks and a computer in one of your murses.

At ease, sonny boy.

I went to college back when there weren’t any backpacks. And I walked to school in a raging snowstorm, uphill both ways. Hmph!

So, cry me no tears.

Feel free to wear your purse. I will not think any less of your for it. But do not try and sell that “it is different for me” nonsense.

If it looks like a purse, walks like a purse and quacks like a purse…

Bags, over one shoulder and around the neck (bike messenger bags, medicine bags, Caine in Kung Fu style bags) are ok.

Purses (over one shoulder, not around the neck) not so much.

Brian was wearing what looked like a light brownish, leather purse and called it his "man bag" yes, just like the Seinfeld episode. I was horrified. And to clarify further, the question was about the purse looking things, not your common school backpack, although a fanny pack is pretty "questionable" too

Gaz
09-15-2005, 12:18 PM
A backpack IS purse, despite the anguished howling of the limp-shouldered wussies to the contrary.

If you are going to wear the screechingly effeminate thing, at least wear it with pride.

Purse pride. "I'm here...I wear a purse...get used to it!"

Say it with me, you gender-impaired school boys…

I carry a briefcase to work every day but it is really just a glorified lunch box. I work 12 hour shifts and can not leave the premises so it is pretty packed most days with munchies and sandwiches.
