Man With Handbags: Is it ok?


These guys carry handbags for their wives/girlfriends voluntary as they feel it is only right to relieve their girls' load, whether it is light or heavy, fluffy or just plain fugly.

Both male and female wrote in and labeled these super gentlemen as "unmanly", "wimps" and "sissies" Pink things are untouchable and if maroon/purple are your favorite colors, you must be gay.

Yes, somehow the unwritten society norms are things more powerful and omnipresent than written words. Much more. Rebel or merely ignore it will yield you nothing but high debts to pay. For who decides that only girls can be raped and boys never? Who decides that tears must never come to man's eyes? Who came up with the idea that the males should be the ones who provide for the family?

Well... its not important to know the answer. Or why we choose to bind others like we do to ourselves for that matter... That's why I seriously don't blame the disgusting, disgruntled replies that people give, which is so horribly subjective, yet, it makes plain sense in the laws of the norms which have yet to be published:

"Guys who love carrying handbags should go for a sex change. Subconsciously, they love to be girls. Women who are too lazy to carry their handbags should not take them out in the first place."

Get what I mean? It just sounds so wrong, yet you accept it as a right way of life. But if the argument warrants truth, then won't all sissies who carry "macho" bags be a real man? Then all parents who carry their children's bag are childish?

Sadly, we seldom see it that way. It is like this. Accept it.
