The fact that women require a bag of shit to carry every day for a supposed "need" is god damn laughable. I carry 4 things: My Phone, Keys, Wallet, and a money clip... and I only carry both a wallet/money clip because I like to divvy up my cards/cash to not put all my eggs in one basket. I carry different items in each.

There is nothing else of any significance that I've ever needed to carry no matter what unless I'm going to work (thus bring my briefcase w/ laptop) or going on a trip (suitecase). Either way my main point is women need to pull their head out of their ass with what they perceive to a be a "necessity". If you find 10 makeup items, chapstick, lotion, and other junk to be a "need" then you just have way too much insecurity.


*Exception for diaper bag.

LOL! This is how you've ensured you'll stay a virgin for the rest of your life. Any women reading the lines above would roll their eyes and shake their head with pity...

Kind of hard to be a virgin and married, no? Did you get a little butt-hurt about the insecure items you carry all the time?

I think it's both dumb to say one is stupid for wanting to carry more things just as one would be dumb to say one is stupid for only wanting to carry a few things. There are 300 million of us in the USA, I think we could find a middle ground.

I have a subaru, but no purse. But, then again, I only bought my suburu because it was the opposite of my previous car (Chrysler 300m)

You do realize that quite a lot of women's clothing has no pockets right?

You should wear a diaper on your head. :D

I only carry my purse when it matches my stupidly expensive wristwatch jewelry.

as a woman, it kind of depends on whats going on.

sometimes i carry a medium "purse" (actually a nice leather man's messenger bag) because i have wallet and phone as well as aspirin, extra pens, checkbook, extra headphones, bandaids, tampons/pads, notebooks, thumbdrives, extra keys, swiss army knife etc.

if i'm just running errands, and it's that time of the month, OR im going to the mall, i take a much smaller purse to carry my keys, phone, wallet and then tampons/pads or my stack of loyalty cards. or both. this is also the purse configuration if my outfit doesn't have pockets, which is all my skirts and some of my pants.

if i'm just running errands, and i have pockets, i take my keys, phone and wallet.

The only pockets my wife sometimes has with work clothes is on her jacket... and really shallow ones at that. Women's clothes != men's clothes.

And have you ever put a tampon in your pocket?

It has little to do with insecurity, but keep labeling half the population the same...
