As a guy, I've sometimes wondered (during those long hours waiting at the mall for the gals to finish their gathering rituals) what is the difference (if any) between a purse, a pocketbook (aka pockabook), and a bag? Bag would seem to indicate bigger, but then there's evening bags.

As I had heard it explained one evening....

Men carry bags, women carry purses, but if a man were to empty his bag, and then a woman put her stuff in the bag, the bag becomes a purse. :-)

Evening purse, just big enough for a derringer and a lipstick case.

A+ on your sentence

Men carry bags

For which we are grateful.
