Handbag verses Manbag

Its all in the bag

By Maree Johnson Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Start writing... . Who would have thought over the past decades a man would be carrying a handbag (aka a Manbag).

However Indianna Jones started this (craze)?

A Mans Man with a Dash of Ruggered  flare!

I see men walking by with a John Wayne swagger.

Very happy to carry this manbag with their masculinity items.

It seems intriguing;

What does he have in his manbag.

He seems very proud to carry.

I watch as he sits & rummages throught the manbag.

It reminds me of myself and other women .

It seems we are so much alike, women and men. 

As i watched him moving items about and rearrange them in the manbag.

He's also taking some, out,  and, putting them back.

"Oh where did I put that phone'? 

I smiled, with the realisation.

Now a man should understand what us women go through when trying to find something in the bottom of the bag.

Is a manbag a representation of how men and women are the same,  yet differnt.  What makes us different is it the contents within, regardless of being a man or women. Hmmmm
