Anyways, it was during one of these train rides I noticed something peculiar. Getting off the train, a man and woman, presumably a married couple, was walking about 10 steps ahead of me. The woman seemed unwell, she was swaying slightly and had on a thick jacket. The husband was walking next to her and asked her if she was tired. She said she was, and he offered to help her.
How would you help someone who was tired? Probably offer an arm for her to lean on? Direct her to the elevator instead of standing in the crowded escalator? Or maybe gently support her back on the escalator up(she seemed to almost double over anyway)
No, not this man. He instead, takes her 0.2kg handbag from her shoulder. Slings in on his shoulder and continues walking.
Correct me if I am mistaken in the scenario. How does carrying off a load of 200grams (it was a VERY tiny bag) help the poor woman?
It’s probably some sort of trend, but I did notice a lot of men carry their women’s handbags for them in the malls too. Imagine this, here is this tall, hunky man, in his levis and a Polo tee. With a mint green Furla bag on his arm.
Don’t get me wrong, I am all out for the gentleman who carries bags for ladies, but I mean grocery bags, shopping bags,or bags from Ikea. I just don’t think chivalry and coach tote go hand in hand.
Having said that, I still am of the opinion its socially acceptable for a man to carry a bag, but one designed with a man in mind. Maybe, just maybe, there should be more promotion from Radley For Men. I know some people would say its still a bag, but I suppose a manbag would look better than a C&K bowling bag.
Just my thought, no pun intended to any man or handbag.
