Too much time on their hands, and those bags do what for those prices?

Dressing like a girl for a change: Priceless.

You know what a purse is supposed to symbolize, right? I guess the logic is that the more you spend for a purse, the more yours is worth.
A man buys a Bugatti, Porsche, Lamborghini, or Ferrari at least partly to get the chicks who look like they ought to have an expensive purse. The only people chicks impress with a $3600 handbag are other chicks.

It is this that makes me happy to be a middle-aged North American man. For the amount of one of those outfits I can go to Eddie Bauer and be set for three+ years. Actually longer because those shirts hold up real well and the khakis can be worn for a couple of years before the seat wears out.
And suits? Another "thank God" for being a North American man; for two dark gray suits and a few good white dress shirts is enough for most business/professional life for a few years.
Add three dark ties with a muted pattern (gray and maroon) a close shave, and a haircut (No. 2 blades on the sides, tapered to the back, long enough on top to brush over) and the man is good to go.
Men are so lucky that we can wear a uniform and be set - pity women who fight amongst themselves about what to wear when. Men can wear a uniform (military or the civilian "uniform") and be done with it all.

I had no idea handbags were so expensive! Yikes!

I'm willing to bet that they would all still be inclined to complain if their subsidized health insurance didn't cover their birth control ala Ms. Fluke.

Those bags look large enough to house an industrial size vibrator, her cervical pool cover and one oral dam.

VW: or a moderate EMP generator or a pound of, um, energetic material.
It happens all the time with certain people: poor judgment, bad taste, foolish behavior and they are proud of it.

The bigger the purse, the bigger the butt.

We accept expensive purses as proof that most women dont have any sense

At this point, the only thing that might wake them up is a good hard punch in the face. Doubtful, so repeated efforts are encouraged.

That's assuming they're telling the truth.
