Handbags for men? Harry Styles says yes

Honestly, these silly children imagine they are inventing the wheel.

David Bowie and Marc Bolan were doing that 50 years ago when it was actually edgy.

Harry Styles works for Gucci as a brand ambassador. He is paid to flog their tat.

Nothing more than product placement. Lap it up lemmings. Buy buy buy

That rent boy will wear whatever he is told to in exchange for USD.

there was some female green party councilor on the news tonight in rte saying that the new reduced speed limits were required for vulnerable, old people and women. ...yes ...for women ...FFS. If I was a woman I would be getting embarrassed by this kinda nonsense.

Old clothes from the 70's could be worth big bucks now, good man Harry.
Bell bottoms and sheepskin jackets back in vogue, you'd probably have thrown them out a few years ago.
They say fashion is cyclical.

Surprised they didn't add trans women of colour to that list.

Potential-Monke

How does a self proclaimed trans man deal with the fact that, as a man, they got pregnant? Not saying that is the case above, but I'd be freaked out if I could suddenly get pregnant (and wouldn't notice for a good few months, thank you food belly).

In fairness I always thought it was dangerous for women to be driving faster than 30km an hour .

I wonder did she mean to add "and woman" onto the end or is it just force of habit at this stage?

Wallet Inspector

Some deletions I see.

Some posts were deleted as they were less than civil. Those that continue on that track and sanctions will be stronger.

I'm more surprised that someone from the Green Party actually said "women". Not very inclusive. Bigot.

But Councillor Donna Cooney (Green) says lower speeds save lives saying the fatality rate for pedestrians can be reduced by 80% if motorists travel at 30km/h instead of 50. She said that vulnerable cyclists such as the elderly and children also need segregation.

She does say at the very end "eh emm and women!"

To end fatphobia, we need to dismantle Western civilization, says Philly therapist Sonalee Rashatwar

Her comments on the Christchurch shooter
“The language that I used in that talk that I gave was actually that I was not surprised that the person who shot up the mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, was also a fitness instructor. I was not surprised by that because people who are Nazis, people who are white supremacists, people who are trying to think of the perfect race are also super fatphobic. … Oftentimes it’s very eugenic.”

Just looked again "children, older people and women"

that bit has been deliberately left out of the article that accompanies the newsreel
https://www.rte.ie/news/dublin/2021/0423/1211737-dublin-speed-limit/

checking it from 1:15 - 1:30 for what Donna says ...unreal

In its FAQ section, it provides a response used often in the neopronoun community when talking to people who claim neopronouns “aren’t real words”: “Yes, literally every word is made up! Neopronouns are real because they carry meaning and are understood by others.”

By whom?

I assume that everyone here uses elmo, elmoself, elmo's wait isn't that just my username.

So we could avoid pronouns and made up pronouns by using people's names.

And with Harry, he just comes across as a PR puppet. Not remotely daring. It’s a lot less edgy to wear that stuff now than 40-50 years ago.

Do this these days is a case of peaching to the converted. Follow the mob. When Bowie did it it might incite a mob.! Really does say alot. ironically if they went on TV with the exact opposite mindset it would actually be edgy and controversial.

Indeed. I’d probably notice a man walking by with a handbag but the reaction would be “Oh right. Anyway...”. Now maybe Harry does just enjoy dressing this way and if so, good luck to him. But I think it comes across like “Look how free-spirited I am, all you boring dweebs!” and I’m thinking “Ahhhh, maybe work on having interesting music there instead, Harry”. All our gender benders from back in the day were also supremely talented and interesting. The gender bending was just an added bonus. Whereas Harry is a dull boy. I’ve never seen an interesting interview with him.

"Nobody cares if a man is carrying a handbag" they say, moaning about a man carrying a handbag.

Rather strangely my dad had a handbag in the eighties. A little leather one. He would use it during the summer when he didn't have enough pockets.

This is a rather large rugby player type from the country. So not very effeminate.

Sorry not relevant but a strange memory now I think about it. You often see French men with them as well.

Maybe men should have handbags. They have backpacks, why not.

Because they would be a pain in the hole. They are not effective. No matter the size of handbag, it will be quickly overloaded with junk and have to be lugged around pointlessly. Wallet keys and phone, nothing else is needed.

Men are weird.

I remember having a bum bag as a child growing up in the 80’s. I didn’t want to wear it any more when I found out what Americans call it...

Just googled, they still do
