The tough-guy posturing in this thread is amusing. Feels a bit like junior high.
Everyone in New York carries a bag occasionally, if not daily. Live car-free for a while and you'll see the need for a bag in no time, macho attitude or not.
What does mine have in it? The book I'm currently reading and/or a couple of magazines, a fold-up umbrella, an iPod, a Palm Pilot, two or three ink pens, a couple of nylon grocery bags that fold into small pouches (yeah, I try to go "green" when I can; is that unmanly, too?), a container for Advil, Sudafed, and vitamins.
Many's the time that I leave home in the morning and don't return until midnight, so yeah, I need something to carry the stuff I'll need over the course of the day.
As for dubbing a guy's bag something derisive like "man purse," most of the women I know in NYC hate the term "purse." So you'd be better off nixing the "purse" jabs if you ever visit the city. You'll piss the women off, too.
