Does anyone else recoil impulsivley at the use of the “man” prefix to describe something as being something that belongs to a man? Man-drawer? Man-purse?
Man-this, man-that, Please! Cowboy up for Gods sake! If you have to prefix the description of something with “man-” then one of two things is wrong. The object is decidedly non-masculine, OR you are so insecure in your own masculinity that you have to bolster it with special words.
If you want to carry a purse then carry a PURSE for John Brownings sake. And if someone laughs at you kick em in the man-sack.

Is this perhaps the first time the "banglist" keyword was added to a thread precisely because there was a stunning absence of any mention of firearms in the article?

Use the correct term, don’t prefix the incorrect term.
It’s a “satchel” or “laptop bag”, not a “man-purse”.
It’s a “kilt”, not a “man-skirt”.
It’s “cologne”, not “man-perfume”.

I’m guilty of putting this on the banglist track back at #6.

I saw a Stratocaster at Guitar Center in NYC, that they were trying to sell for $75,000.
It must have been one of the very first run of Stratocasters that Fender put out.

This sounds like the type of a guy that doesn’t know the difference between a hammer and screwdriver. I bet he has a man purse.

And the reason that there are so many pistols in a typical American man drawer is because the rifles are stored in the man cave...
To: heckler
LOL ...I suspect you won’t be taking a mancation. ;)

Why not carry a ruck sack? You can fit more in it and some Govt Issue include straps to attach it to a parachute.
