It was time to step into the lion's den and ask a female why women as a whole now use purses the size of bowling bags. "The bigger your purses, the more attention you get" said one woman on campus, wielding quite a large (purse). "It's like a respect thing." This answer simply stunned me. I, for some reason, assumed that the ladies wear these Merry Poppin' purses in order to keep things in them. But what would I know, right? I barely have a fanny pack to my name so I have no room to talk. The next lovely lady I came upon had a purse of gargantuan proportions. When asked why she would ever need such purses, the female said "It's fashionable and a good conversation starter"/David Humphreys, NIC Sentinel. More here.

Question (for women): Why do you carry the purse you do?
