Guys, Don't Let 'Gender-Fluid' Fashion Leave You Holding the Bag

hilarious how they always credit the ‘mindless purposeless’ concept of evolutionism, as having the strange, almost, brain-like capabilities of making a man do one thing like hunt, and enable a women to multi-task, as if it is some sort of plan....all done under the ‘purposeless, mindless’ concept of evolutionism...

hell give it up already.

The fellow's full name is Pharrell Williams. He's a singer, record producer and fashion mogul

First of all, men don't pay much attention to fashion. Second, no one is looking to a musician to learn how to dress. I didn't when I was a kid and my musical idols were Jimmy Page and Eddie van Halen, or later when they were Black Flag and early Metallica. I certainly don't now when Pharrell is carrying a handbag like someone's aunt.

That said, Pharrell is a huge talent musically - will listen to just about any music the guy's involved with at least once.

Just what every guy needs - something to carry his tampons.

Love the HK, but you should try V-picks. They actually sound better and play better than “normal” picks. Plus, you never drop them, so you only need to carry one. Less stuff to carry!

[MrEdd]

Ninja’d.

As an older male, I DO sometimes have to carry a bag because sometimes cargo pants and/or a vest aren’t appropriate. I need something to hold my pipe kit or cigar tubes, extra mags, mini-med kit, flashlight, phone, etc.

Backpacks to the rescue. Far more useful than any women's purse. I still have my old university backpack which sees occasional use - when I returned to UC San Diego last summer for the first time in over 20 years I tried to replace it at the campus bookstore, but apparently college kids these days don't use backpacks as much - pretty empty selection.

Stupid issue.

If you have things to carry that don’t fit in your pocket, you need something to carry them in. People have been carrying things around in containers since forever. I bet cavemen had a ‘purse’ or a little pouch or something to keep extra arrowheads or whatever in tied to their waist.

It doesn’t have to be a ‘purse’, it could be a briefcase, or a duffel bag, backpack, fanny pack ... or whatever.

What I hate is when people who don’t carry any sort of container ask me to put something of theirs in my purse because they are tired of carrying it around .. . or ... ask me for things like a pen, paper,or a tissue that they assume I have in my purse (I do, but I carry these things for MY convenience).

Carry your own damn stuff.

I can’t count the times I’ve had men in business ask me for a pen so they can write something down in a meeting .... like I’m some kind of pen servant or something. No. Get your own damn pen. Get a pocket pen protector or something. This in particular annoys me. I might have ten extra pens in my purse but I’m still going to say no, I don’t have an extra pen. Call me petty but, c’mon, bring a pen to a meeting. Don’t treat people with purses like your personal bearers of stuff.

Now my daughter, like most young people, walks around holding her phone in her hand (ands sometimes laying it down and forgetting where it is). But if we are out somewhere and she wants to be hands free for something, “Hey mom can you pop this in your purse?” No. Carry something to hold your belongings. “Hey Mom, can you call my phone so I can find it” No, carry something to hold your belongings so they don’t get lost.

Whatever happened to common sense?

They are called back packs & tool pouches, tool & tackle boxes, and pickup trucks.

And "go-bags."

[sarasota]

How about a military style (ammo/shoulder) bags? armynavy.com, amazon and others have them.

[I want the USA back]

So, if someone is “gender fluid” does he/she/it carry a purse one day and not the next day? How does a “gender fluid” thing feel about marrying another “gender fluid” thing? On some days their genders will match up, on others not.

This is a sign of a culture that is degrading rapidly. Now we see that electing Trump is not going to stop the mad rush to perdition.

Here ya go. A possible bag for patches, lead balls, patch knife, extra priming powder flask, etc. Hang this on your belt:

I love V-picks. I just bought 4 new ones to try and my favorite wound up being the tiny green one.

[alexander_busek]

Men have purses! BIG ones. They are called back packs & tool pouches, tool & tackle boxes, and pickup trucks.

...and briefcases.

There is a long history, though.

I am genuinely interested in how you collected that info!

Are you a historian?

Guitar picks?

[IronJack]

If you are a male and you carry a purse, you are a fag. Full stop.

[Syntyr]

Thanks for the tip about Vpicks.

Normally when I buy picks I figure that I will lose half of them so I immediately throw half the picks out the window in order to satisfy fate...

[Syntyr]

Yep. Thankfully I work in an office by myself so I keep a cheap Squier Bullet at work. At lucnh or downtimes I will pick it up and practice some songs. Without an amp is quiet enough that I can tell what it sounds like but it wont carry past my door
