Gender norms are weird, right?

Like at what point did “carry the stuff you need around with you” become socially taboo for roughly half of people?

Screw that. Carrying stuff is useful. As goes the epiphany from TikTok user @daleandthezdubs:

“My entire life up until this week has been a lie. A few days ago I bought this bag at the hardware store, I’ve been putting miscellaneous items in it; keys, cellphone, wallet, earbuds.”

“I feel more organized, I’m losing things less, I’m less anxious.”

“What I’m trying to say is it took me to get to my mid thirties to realize all I needed was a purse. It’s a purse!”

I’m a backpack man myself.

The important thing here is it’s nice to have your stuff with you.
