About two months ago I saw a guy holding hands with his girlfriend walking down the street. What was unusual about this was the fact that he had her purse on his shoulder… The purse was very small, no more than a midsize bag. It did not appear to be heavy because it was not stuffed and again, it was a small purse. I could not imagine that the purse was too heavy for her to carry. Despite all of this, I shrugged this encounter off as strange but thought very little about it.
Since that time, I have seen three more couples where the guy was wearing or carrying his girlfriend’s purse. Two of the men had the bag on their shoulder; carrying the purse the same way that a woman would. While the third guy had his lady’s purse around his neck; making an obvious effort to wear the bag improperly in order to make it appear less girlie. In all four of these incidents, there was no valid reason for the men to be carrying or even holding his woman’s purse.
In case you are not aware: let me tell you when it is socially acceptable for your man to carry or hold your pocketbook. 1. when you are shopping and trying on clothes. 2. when you have to go to the bathroom and you ask him to hold it while you’re in there. 3. when you are busy dealing with the baby, and any other time you are too busy or incapacitated.
Despite the fact that I was able to shrug off the first incident as a fluke; it is clear now that something is amiss!
