Sherpadog, I like your 'shoulder bag'. I guess man purse/murse might be a midwestern term since folks around here seem to be instinctively/reflexively homophobic.

What I like about it is that it is longer from top to bottom than from side to side. My 'man purse' is longer from side to side than top to bottom which makes it look more purse like, whereas your looks more utilitarian and thus 'manly'.

I am not looking to change from what I have since I have worn it for 3 years and it looks the same as the day I got it, but if I were to do it all over again I would probably choose something taller than it is wide as it breaks the 'purse' stereotype very well.

Then again, anyone who harrasses me on account of my having a purse will have to contend with what the purse holds
