Men: May I Ask You A Serious Question About Man Purses? - CrimeSpace2024-03-28T20:46:15Zhttp://crimespace.ning.com/forum/topics/men-may-i-ask-you-a-serious?id=537324%3ATopic%3A244749&feed=yes&xn_auth=noYeah Thomas it did get off tr…tag:crimespace.ning.com,2010-08-05:537324:Comment:2451612010-08-05T18:35:18.468ZStacyhttp://crimespace.ning.com/profile/StacyDeanne
Yeah Thomas it did get off track and that's why I wanted to remind folks that it has nothing to do with someone's sexuality and I didn't want anyone who was gay to be offended.<br />
<br />
Best Wishes!

<b>Robin you did nothing wrong, sweetie, LOL.<br />
<br />
I know you guys meant no offense at all. I was just clarifying what I meant myself. I just wanted to also make sure that people understood where I came from. I wouldn't want someone on Crimespace who might be homosexual to see my thread, see gays being mentioned and assumed I meant "man purses are for gay men".<br />

I was just clearing that up for myself. I think you guys haven't done anything wrong. I just wanted to make SURE I didn't personally…</b>

<br />
Mate, unless the MC is metro there is no reason to have him using female accessories. They've taken our hair products and our eyeliner - is nothing sacred???

Ha ha! Pretty sure it was me. I wasn't intending to gay-bash OR man purse-bash...just making a comment about society and our biases. I think it's an interesting discussion. I don't think anyone's crossed the line into homophobia; we're writers, so by nature we're more likely to observe/discuss than to judge.<br />
<br />
Anyone disagree?

I don't remember who brought up gay here, but just for the record. I never brought up having a man purse was gay. Someone else did I suppose. I said to me, it seems "feminine". A man doesn't have to be gay to be feminine or sissified. It's just a trait. Some straight men have feminine ways and some men do not.<br />

Just wanted to make sure everyone keeps in mind <i>I</i> never brought up gay. That had nothing to do with what I said. I just don't want this funny and delightful discussion to turn into a gay bashing thread. We need to remember to respect everyone here. Being gay has nothing to do with having a man purse.</b><br />
<br />
There are a lot of GAY men I know that wouldn't carry a man purse as well. LOL.<br />
<br />
I wish the guy well with his story but he needs to get a thicker skin if he hopes to be published.<br />
<br />
Best Wishes!<br />

Most gay guys i know have too much taste to act like metrosexuals. Only straight guys who're getting trashed on their own stash can dress like fops. Not that I'd EVER generalize, of course...

Not sure about that. "Gay" means homosexual to most people, homosexuals included. "Effeminate" usually implies "behaving in a homosexual manner" to people, whether or not it's PC. Most heterosexual men would naturally shy away from using a manbag. Horrid word, anyway. The fact is that most husbands refuse to hold their wives' handbags for even a moment in public. So there's a very strong sensitivity about that sort of thing.

I think when people refer to a man carrying a purse as "gay," they don't mean "gay" as in "homosexual," but "gay" as in "effeminate." While "homosexual" and "effeminate" mean two entirely different things, the use of "gay" does not always distinguish between them. Call it "South Park Syndrome."
