Is this your problem?
Like he said, it’s European!
WTF!? It looks like an ordinary laptop bag, except for the additional compartments. It doesn’t look the least bit like a woman’s purse. Could the OP fill us in on where he lives and who the assailant was? I’m thinking it must have been some idiot kid.
As for me, I leave the house so loaded down every day – laptop, large coffee thermos, and perhaps one or two days’ worth of lunch-- that I finally gave in and now use an overnight bag with wheels that’s designed to fit under an airplane seat. I can only imagine what that (presumed) kid would think of me!
Heh. No, I didn’t bother to look around for the jackass. Maybe he wasn’t happy about having to stop at a red light just so I could cross the street.
I did notice the lead vehicle was a pickup. Maybe I should have shouted back “Redneck!”
Maybe he’s confusing you with a metrosexual.
No doubt - that doesn’t look feminine in the slightest. Looks like your everyday soft-side satchel that I see lots of men and women using. I’ve used 'em myself in the past (and have switched over to a backpack just for the sheer amount of stuff I can keep in one).
What a dumbass.
Yeah, I used to carry one of those too. I got so tired of the gaybashing that I switched to this. Problem solved.

Judging by the voice, it was a teenager at least. Possibly some dip of a college student home for Christmas break.
As to where: here’s a satellite photo of the neighborhood
Ah cripes, now I’m in deep Bandidni. I drive a pick-up and I carry a fag bag. :eek:
Well, I have an actual purse. It’s small, has enough room for a camera and a paperback, and was purchased at a purse store. It has wide straps rather than little strappy ones, but it’s a purse. To make matters worse, I have it covered with Queer pride buttons.
And yet, I have had people correct me.
“…in my purse.”
“Your bag?”
look at them strangely “My purse.”
And I have had people call me faggot for using it, though I don’t understand why that’s meant to be an insult in this case. I mean, it’s true, and I already knew it. shrugs
It was a cry for help. His inner feelings have been supressed for to long. His mouth said “Faggot” his heart said “faggot?”
Sometimes when you supress your true feelings for that long, it forces you to blurt out a mating call to everyone that attracts you.
Next time you see That poor tortured boy, just firmly but gently let him know that you are unavailable.
None of the above. I suppose I am just messing about in this silly thread, same as most people.
I guess I think the bag is a little gay in the ‘dude, that’s gay’ sense of the word.
My mom heard me refer to my messenger bag as a purse once. She almost fainted.
“Never let your father hear you say that,” she said. Oh yeah, she’s still in denial.
My response to being called a fag is a quizzical, raised eyebrow stare and a simple “And …”
I think you should hit him with a fagot. Preferably a flaming one. Or one like sense b below:
Believe it or not, according to Queer Eye the correct place to get a proper fag bag is (urp) Wilson Leather.
But if you load it up with a 15’ laptop and all kinds of other crap and you just happen to be a fat schlub, you’ll still be a fat schlub carrying a cool messenger bag. Oh, and the edges fray kind of easily.
I’ve got satchels, messenger bags, purses, pocketbooks, and clutches. But I refer to each one as “my sack.” As in, “keep an eye on my sack, will ya?” or “can you grab my sack?”
My father carries a bag. It’s a grey canvas paratrooper bag and my mother calls it his purse.
If I ever heard you asking me to grab your sack, JP, I’m immature enough that I’d never ever stop chortling.
Your sack is mighty impressive.
May I feel your sack?
Stop brushing your sack against me!
hehehe.
Jeff the problem was that you were wearing shoes and a tie that actually weant well with the bag;)
Thus the yob thought you must be homosexual.
You guys and your manpurses.
