Men need to be vigilant and active in censuring other men guilty of this most appalling crime

My Korean male friend carries a handbag that I swear looks like a woman's purse. I asked him about it and he said it's not a purse--it's European!

could this be the 'manbag'? which had an alarming degree of popularity in the 80s - apparently...

i've seen a few of them around here

Is your masculinity really so brittle that holding a bag will shatter it? I don't generally ask men to carry my bag for me, but I do wonder why it's such a big deal.

You obviously don't know men very well. You've got it round the wrong way. It's not the holding of the bag that will shatter your masculinity. If you're holding the bag, it's already shattered...

I must have missed that growing up. I'll carry anything. What's the problem? I feel nothing.

I miss the problem too...

So I carry the girlfriends bag at times if it has been a long day.

Some people need to get over themseleves, just because you do that doesn't threaten your sexuality. If you judged me in that situation because i was helping my girlfriend out then I would think you were a pretty narrow-minded person.

Dude, if the girl is cute and smart and I am smitten, I will carry a leather lavender lined-with-lace Hello Kitty/Pikachu metrosex-o-satchel with chocolate truffles, purple polka-dot pantyhose, a poodle with ears dyed dark chartreuse and headshots of Won Bin, Lee, Jun-Ki and Patrick Swayze all sticking out the top.

And if I see you leering at me over your o-baek of Hite Stout from the porch of your local Jjoki-Jjoki, I'll just say: ^^;

But I really doubt I'll notice you.

Well, there you have it, guys. Get those eyebrow tweezers & manbags & pink shirts ready.

Don't you agree, Peppermint? It's what Korean and Western women want these days. Apparently.
