Actually we don’t normally call them manbags. We normally call them after what the main contents are :-
- A camera bag
- A tripod bag (you might guess at this point that I spend a considerable amount of time carrying around optical equipment)
- Laptop bags
- Book bags
- Lunch bags.
So when we stop to think about women’s handbags, it starts to get a little freaky. By the convention of what men name their bags, perhaps women keep hands in their bags ? Perhaps that’s a second reason why no man looks in a woman’s handbag – we really don’t want to know what’s in them!
