The "men" in the pic at the top of the article.





It's telling of the situation that the picture used to emphasize a shortage of men has 4 times as many "men" in it as women.

What I see is 4 men wearing messenger bags(male purses) and a woman wearing a blue dress(a traditional male color).

Venturing briefly off topic since I was looking at this matter a few days ago.
How the hell is a guy on foot supposed to be carrying things (documents, tablet, laptop, whatever) around without either using a messenger bag (which some men, possibly women as well, still consider "gay"), a backpack (even a nice leather backpack is likely to make you look like a tourist or backpacker, or just a bit of a dork) or a briefcase (only really works for people who are suited up for work)?

I'm looking into messenger bags at the moment. Seems like the over all best option out of several bad ones. So far I've usually been using a casual gym style backpack or duffel bag when I need to bring something with me around town, but it looks even more casual and touristy in my opinion (or if you're lucky, like you might actually be on the way to or from the gym, but not so much if you're strolling around with them in a mall or on the way to a café).
