Sorry, Dr. Helen, but I as a guy am jealous that you get the option of carrying a purse without having your sexuality questioned like we do. I’d much rather carry a purse than stuff everyhing I need in my pockets, where they not infrequently fall out, often without your knowledge. Between wallet, several sets of car keys, cell phone, sunglasses, iPod and occasionally handgun, I do not have pockets that can handle all of that.

And before anyone asks, no, I don’t leave that stuff in the car because they make targets for car thieves. And I take keys for multiple cars because when my house was burglarized several years ago, they took all the car keys I had left at home.

Short story long, some guys would prefer to carry a purse than stuff our stuff uncomfortably in our pockets.
