i mean what kind of path in our culture makes women carry storage devices while men dont....
apart from the fact that they like it , are they just forced to carry bags for the men... is that how it worked in ancient times
is carrying bags a little od or should men just slap bags to our backs.....

Well... I am a woman... but I don't like carrying purses or hand bags around. When I go out, I only carry with me items that can fit in my pockets. What is your question again? Do I sense a failed attempt to stereotype? Or do I sense a successful try in getting the women's attention here? Nice technique!

Purses are fancy, and men aren't very much into fancy stuff. Well, wouldn't it be weird if you saw a man carrying a purse? (I mean a purse of his own, not his girlfriend or wife's purse). Purses were just designed for women. Also, women carry a lot of stuff with them when they go out, while men don't carry much with them. Men put their wallets in their pockets because men clothings are designed with lots of pockets, whereas women's clothings normally have fewer and smaller pockets. Therefore, women need to carry purses. I was around 14 or 15 when I started carrying purses regularly.

Purses? You must be a yank? You are probably referring to a bag? Hand bag? Seeing a purse is the female equivalent of a man's use of a wallet, purely for money.
There isn't anything weird about it! You can get man bags too! What seems weird is dog-bags where the likes of Paris Hilton et el cart their tiny teacup pooch in a bag! Now that is weird!
I guess woman have to carry all the paraphernalia! EG house keys, tissues, purse (with money) mobile phone, lip stick, mirror, a pen, not book, diary / Filofax, then any "kiddy" things!!
If you have a child you have child PLUS umpteen "bits" to accompany!! Car seat, nappys, nappy bags, changing mat, bottle, suitable food, wipes etc. I find the same with the puppy!! Can't forget the poop bags, tissue for perpetual runny nose, treats, ball / toy etc etc.
Men DO have bags did you not see the man bag in sex in the city? LOL It hasn't ever really took off though. Mind you men do carry things in their back packs. And they carry football kit in sports bags. They just don't use them as sparkly fashion accessory's. But there again, they don't ever wear hair clips, or false nails either....
Am sure Freud would propose some theory along the line of - maybe they think they have enough "bits" hanging off them with their manhood dangling between their legs and women are forever trying to compensate for its absence!!! LOL

Heard this on the radio the other night. Have women always carried purses? Once upon a time, men and women stored their essentials in a little sack tied around their waist, under their clothing. In the 1800s, when thinner, silkier fabrics came into fashion, women had a hard time hiding those bulging bags discreetly. The solution? They began carrying their belongings in small handbags instead, and the custom stuck.

Women needs purses because we like to have everything with us. Plus, the clothes we wear don't exactly have room to keep a wallet, keys, etc and whatever else we need(most of the time). We also have a few other issues that women have to deal with and carry around supplies for that men don't. Haha.

why sould it be weird that women carry purses?
obviously they need it to keep the hoarde of things they might need any minute... even guys would need purses... but well, it's simply too much weight for them to carry their own brains.. they can't afford the weight of anything more... lol (no offence meant...just a lame joke)
