An All-Goat Interpretation of the Men’s Rights Movement

Timbuk2s are fuckin’ amazing. And you can get them custom-made in the colors of your choice for a very reasonable price. And they last forever (I’ve had mine about 9 years now I think).

In terms of purse-type items I usually carry a little thing that only has room for a couple of credit cards, ID, and some cash. You could fit it in even the tiniest pocket. What do people with massive wallets keep in them?

Oh, and finally got to listen to the videos on this thread – love ’em. The kitty in the Interspecies Bonding one doesn’t just look like Katie, zie sounds exactly like her.

But why carry them all the time? I put only the stuff I know I’ll need in my tiny wallet/credit card holder. Even if I’m carrying a bag it’s that, lipstick, mp3 player and earbud headphones, lip balm, tissues, ibuprofen, possibly tampons. That’s about it unless I’m going to be taking photos at a show and need to carry a bunch of other crap.

‘Cos I never know when I’ll need them. My after-work shopping tends to be spontaneous, and given my route home usually takes me through the city, it could happen any day.

Not that it matters, because I have a load of stuff anyway, and a few cards more or less don’t make much difference. Between my makeup bag, which includes more pills and lotions than makeup, a bottle of water, packed lunch, umbrella, phone, knitting or book, my backpack’s always full. I hate being caught without things I frequently need.

I manage to carry a huge assortment of cards for various libraries and qualifications and old tickets and insurance and that quite easily in a very modestly-sized wallet. fits easily in my front jeans pocket and i’m not a roomy-jeans type of person.

CassandraSays, my sister has your philosophy on carrying cards and is forever being caught without something she needs. Seems easier just to keep everything with you at once. My motorcycle jacket acts as a sort of handbag if I need it to, as well, and I tend to keep things in it rather than taking them out between wearing.

I use bags far less than I use backpacks, so it isn’t really a problem. I always have a bottle of water, and usually a small umbrella (whether for rain or as a sunshade, it’s wise to have one in Melbourne) so a really small bag is out of the question anyway. Plus something to read or do on the train … an eighty minute trip with up to half an hour’s wait if I just missed a train is more time than I want to sit twiddling my thumbs.

I feel like putting my wallet in my back pocket would pretty much guarantee it would get stolen. I once put my keys in my back jeans pocket and forgot I’d done so till I sat down. Won’t be doing that again.

I can’t stand putting my wallet in my back pocket. Instead, as a rule, I put it in my left pocket for some reason.

EVO-’SPLAIN THAT ONE TO ME!

He’s on a stage.
He’s raised above other men.
Lateral progress indicates alpha social status because berries collected were often lower to the ground, and so, men who didn’t have to bow down and get them obviously had more social status.
It became coded in because… genetics.

Therefore, they stare at his magnificent lump crotch because they intrinsically know his Iphone indicates his aloof alpha status.

Also, all men are essentially bisexual, and are just waiting for the right moment to experience this, which would clearly be with the person on a stage raised above their heads.

My work here is done.

I’m on the hunt for a much smaller wallet that will fit into a pocket (due to the curse of the tiny , useless or non-existant pockets on womens clothing) as mine is huge and I honestly can’t remember why I bought a big one when most of the space isn’t used.

I wish I could go handbag-less, and if the weather is right to wear my barbour jacket I usually do because it has a massive inside pocket which is really secure.

But if I’m wearing a different coat or none at all it’s impossible. I can fit a phone and keys in my jeans pockets, but not much more and there’s a fair amount of other stuff that I tend to need.

I like to be able to keep lip balm and hand cream on me as my skin gets quite dry, bottle of water because if I don’t drink enough when I’m out and about I get migraines, ibuprofen and plasters (in case of migraine, period pains or shoes rubbing), a little purse with a few tampons in case of sudden attack of early/late period, little packet of tissues, throat pastilles, fold up umberella because yo London weather, at least one pen, hand sanitiser because public toilets always run out of soap.

And then I have my purse and also oyster card holder which is the third essential item if you live in London, in fact probably the most essential. If I lost my phone, wallet and keys but not my oyster card I can at least get home with it.

But yeah, while I love being able to go bagless, if I have to have a bag I at least make good use of it with all emergency supplies on hand. And the one I have is big and squishy and can fit a whole coat folded up in it if needed which is the world most useful thing, but doesn’t take up much space when not full. But now it’s falling apart because it was only an H and M job for less than £20 and I’ve had it for years and I can’t find a good replacement 🙁

Curses! At a time when I can’t watch videos, too! :'( (babysitting)

@Augochlorella

Mom: You know how you look at guy’s butts?

Me: Yes…

Mom: Well when women look at men’s butts they’re actually looking for their wallets.

Me: *activates parent escape pod*

Aaauuuuuuuggggh. Wow. You have my sympathies.

@cloudiah

Remember that episode of Seinfeld, where George Costanza had a really fat wallet but it was all receipts and shit? Shouldn’t that have made him the most attractive dude on earth?

That’s how my wallet is XD Its a good thing I carry my wallet in my purse, otherwise I would be too sexy to bear!

@david

I wonder if anyone could come up with a good evo psych explanation of the wallet thing. Did the most skilled mammoth hunters have weird rectagular bumps on their asses?

IT’S SCIENCE!!!!!!ELEVEN

@stormster

Hey guys, would it be possible to vent her about something, or should I go to an open thread?

Assuming the rest of everyone’s ok with it, I’m cool with you venting here.

@viscaria

Throughout evolutionary history, female humans have always chosen males with fat, flat buttock pads for their mating partners. The females recognized that their male offspring, should they inherit the rectangular buttock deposits, would have a better chance of survival; as they, like females, would be able to sit on hard surfaces.

That explains SO MUCH! XD

@Kittehs, well what it definitely means is any woman not sleeping with Tom is a hyper famous wh*re.

Cool, I never thought I’d qualify! (Hypergamous, hyper famous, either will do.)

It’s probably a sign I’ve been reading too much manboobz that my brain auto-corrected hyper famous to hypergamous. XD

And I’m going to post this before wordpress and/or children eat it.

I fail at blockquoting sober, but when hazy and drunk I get it right? Huh…
