Indifferent Men - Gender Neutral artifact

Man Purse (Satchel)

I think society focuses too much on appearances. People see one thing and may make connotations toward one gender for that object. That only restricts where our society thinks its acceptable.

(Looks down at Satchel and sighs)
...Some people see this and think its a purse, and that only women should have this.
Well... "this" is actually called a satchel. And It's really manly! I hold "manly" things in it. Like Axe Body Spray, After shave, bubble gum...(unsure face), and CONDOMS! (Yea!) Like Ruff Riders, Magnums, Ribbed, Flavored, and you know who those are for, even crowned, two bucks for one, yea I can afford it, and Trojans.

Plus! I don't let this bag mess up my walk or weigh down my swaaaag.
It's not like I'm switchin my hips while I walk with it, (gives example of switchin')
I work out! See these muscles! (flexes)
They help me hold heavy shit in here!

You know what I hate.
When I'm walking down the street & someone says, "Ay, I think my girl got that same purse."
DOUBT IT! 'cause this is a Satchel, not a purse. It's for men to carry important manly things, Like Condoms!
- Don't laugh, don't laugh
This ain't funny this is just a statement against how society gives prejudice to objects, segregating its belongingness to certain persons as if there can't be an arm with too many muscles or arm hair holding something with a sling unless its to repair a hurt version of this ligament, as if it must be due to a mistake or accident that we carry this.
But maybe that's just one of the ways in which we stress too much on gender segregation in products, and even locations.
