Double plus: you won't find whatever it is you're supposed to be looking for anyway.
Sometimes that would just make me on par with the owner

He seems very manly to me - he's not concerned about what other men will think - that by definition would make make him more manly (sorry FC) than Flux Capacitor who seems absolutely worried to death about what makes up being a man and the views of other men.
How again has this become about me? I was just posing the damn question...
Her purse is too heavy for her? That seems like quite a bit of extrapolation. Why would a woman go out of the house with a purse that's so heavy that it is painful for her to hold? In the 3.5 years I've been with my wife I've never once had her complain that her purse is too heavy. Shopping bags, sure...but not her purse.

To me, what makes it feminine is the same thing that makes us see red as "stop" or "danger" and green as "go". If you have a baby girl, you get pink balloons, if it's a boy, you get blue. Pink, feminine, blue, masculine. I'm not making this stuff up myself, it's just the way the certain colors are typically perceived.
So liking a certain color designates me as masculine/feminine, even though the color is gender neutral, because a group of people got together and said so. You know you don't have to agree with said group of people, because they're full of shit. You do realize that these perceptions change over time, yes? If this were 1920, you'd be on the opposite side of the argument. Pink is a boy's color because it's closer to the color of blood. If this were 1820, you'd be wearing pantyhose, and you'd be considered quite the masculine person.I would have to say society as a whole dictates what it deems masculine.
That wasn't an inference. That was a direct quote. You said you didn't like pink or diamonds because you were straight, and liked your things masculine.Seems to me that you're inferring quite a bit there.
Because you shy away from anything you deem "feminine". You said outright you prefer what you wear to be masculine. You must have a purpose for this.As in I wear a lot of blues, blacks an darker shades of other colors. I don't wear them to enhance anything, they are simply my preference. Why is it okay for someone's preference to be pink but when I prefer blues and blacks all of a sudden I am "trying to enhance my masculinity"?
So I'm effeminate because I like pink. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. It's like saying you know someone's gay because they "act a certain way". It's a valueless judgement.Pretty much, yeah.
So, to these women, a woman isn't equal to a man? That's the only way he can be subservient to his wife in this situation, is if she's not equal. Otherwise, all he's doing is being considerate.Maybe they don't hold the same respect for a guy who is seen as subservient to his wife as they would one who is at the same level as she is?
I don't see what the problem is.

And it may not be to you but to many men, pink is strictly a feminine color. I would never put a pink case on my phone, nor would I buy one with jewels or diamonds on it. I'm a straight guy and I like my things to be masculine. You can't be saying that a pink bedazzled phone case seems in any way masculine...right?
Also, I'm curious as to why those women seem to think it's a bad thing to be feminine.
Still, assuming he's holding it for her due to it's weight is just that...an assumption.
BECAUSE IT IS FULL OF SHIT.
Like a lot people's purses/backpacks/bags.
Still, assuming he's holding it for her due to it's weight is just that...an assumption. I brought this up to my wife and she agreed that the solution for her would to be to not put so much stuff in her purse. I would hold it for her if it were too heavy, but after that one time I'd say we should go over her purse-packing priorities. .
So if she inconvenienced you more than once you'd want a say in what she was lugging?

Maybe they are helping you to take out that inconvenient foot you seem to have in there.Seriously, the level of words being put into mouths here is obscene.
