I have to say that I love carrying a purse. Keeping all my belongings in my pockets (when I'm wearing an outfit that has them) is simply too much a stressful enterprise for a paranoid individual such as myself. I'm also a notorious over-packer, and I like to have something for every situation on my person at all times.

This makes me feel like at least some men would think similarly. Being purseless can be very limiting in a lot of ways. This has recently been the subject of a thoughtful yet silly Twitter thread, in which people theorized and explained why more men don't carry a bag of some description. As we might expect, there were numerous differing thoughts on the matter. Perhaps we have reached a point as a society where more men should be happy to accessorize this way, but there is certainly a way to go yet.

    Kam @KamTangents. 1d I always misplace my stuff and I wanted a purse of some kind so badly but I didn't want weird looks or get hatecrimed on the street or smth. And then I saw sling bags and thank god. I love mine sm. (We shouldn't have to masculinize a small bag to carry our stuff but I digress)
