Man Purse vs. backpack debate

[AirMech74]

Ok, so some coworkers and I get into a big debate over what makes a bag a man purse.....

I carry a black Maxpedition Kodiak (gearslinger)...some guys at work say its a man purse because it only has one strap...I say, it sits on my back...its a backpack. If only one strap makes it a man purse...then when people wear backpacks using only one strap, is it not a man purse? I say a man purse is more like a satchel or messenger style bag that sits on your hip or under your arm. What say you guys?

Would a laptop bag would be considered a man purse?

one straps (like my sitka) make more sense. They're comfortable, and everything is easy to get to. I don't even have to take the pack off to get to everything that's inside it. I would agree that a messenger bag or satchel would be considered a man purse.

I carry a Fatboy. My wife calls it my stud sack!

I reckon I need to get me one of them thar man purses.

Does anybody out there own a 5.11 Tactical S.E.R.E. bag? They are exclusive to Quartermaster Uniforms (www.qmuniforms.com). They look alot like the Maxped Fatboy series, only a little smaller. They are only like 35 bucks, but they never show any pics of the inside of the bag, so I don't know exactly if it'll do/hold what I need it to.

Here's the specs on it...

1 strap = ghey.
2 straps = backpack.

Pretty simple.

Since when did men start carrying more than a wallet, pocketknife and maybe a cell phone?

Ever since carrying a knife, wallet, flashlight, multi-tool, keys, gun, extra magazine, and other misc. items pulls my pants down!

Hard to argue with this logic...sorry dude.
