Hey, I have a “man purse,” ie. a fanny pack. But I use it to carry my 9mm (have a CCW permit). Does that count?

OK. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but yes, it still counts as a man bag. Also, the 9mm is not a proven bear-stopping round. If it's a REALLY big magazine, like a giant Glock or service issue Beretta it is almost OK.

Real men carry N-frame revolvers. If you are a hard ass and a dandy then a 1911 in a shoulder holster is a workable alternative. If you just hate too much gun (how is that possible) a snub-nose in the pocket or something is acceptable.

The 9mm in a fanny pack is WRONG. I would say GAY, but that is not permitted anymore.

Good for you for having a CCW and carrying, in all seriousness!!

That’s nasty. What were the stickers for?

I lose #1 and #4. I live, breath and defend.

11. Any beer that costs less than $20 a case. And no exception for the grand-slam 30-pack that crosses that price threshold.

I object. If Pabst Blue Ribbon was good enough for my dad and his dad, then it's good enough for me.

They've been around since the Vietnam war, and are used to improve one's aim. Many a VFW hall sported them.

1. Pink shirts-nothing screams out “I’m Gay or sexually confused like a pink shirt. Don’t give me that “its OK now BS”.

2. Carrying an umbrella-(unless you’re carrying it for a woman to keep her dry). Umbrella carrying men just screams out “Hey I’m a candy-a$$ scared of water.

3. Working men using napkins (not talking about you guys in suits). That’s what shirt sleeves are for. A man using a napkin just gives off a tofu-eating aura that REAL men will avoid.

4. Cooking, if married. God gave us women-why the heck are you cooking?

Because it's hamburger night?

How about a manzier?

“Men should avoid following any list that tells them what to do.”

Especially from msn.com which more than likely had a poof do the writing.

"Men should avoid following any list that tells them what to do." If it is one of those that you can rip open with one hand, while the other hand is grabbing the gun. Then yes that is OK. A cop friend of mine wears one everywhere when off duty. Also a man bag is not a fanny pack.
