Do Women Have a Purse Gene

Do Women Have a Purse Gene
Have you seen my purse? It can house a small animal, a bucket of make-up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an e-reader, a lunch packed in Tupperware, an iPhone, mints,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], credit cards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], travel coffee mug,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], keys, Scotch tape, small scissors and, of course, an extra pair of shoes. Why would anyone choose to carry a mobile Walmart on their shoulder? Was I born with this baggage affliction, or have I learned to be this way? Nature vs. nurture, which is it?
As I catch a glimpse of myself heading out the door, I'm shocked, I see my reflection slinging a Glad bag and it's not even garbage day. I've become a human tote replete with diaper bag, insulated lunch bag, work-bag and of course my purse. I hate it. Am I pre-programmed to gather? Has science found a purse gene? If it's not DNA that taught me to live like this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then what?
I glance away form the mirror and the answer is staring me in the face. The television glows with primary colours as Dora and Diego, yell at my toddler in both English and Spanish. After a billion hours of exposure by TV osmosis, I realize that media is covertly training our girls to carry a lot of extra crap.

Inside it contains nothing. N-O-T-H-I-N-G.
It is empty because it is a magical rescue pack that transforms into whatever he needs, whenever he needs it.
If Diego needs a surfboard, a floatplane, or even lunch, PRESTO! Rescue pack is can do it -- nothing to it.
Rescue pack is never forgotten because when it is no longer a yacht with a built in BBQ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it shrinks and flies onto his back.
Diego's end goal is to rescue baby animals in trouble without being crushed in an avalanche or being eaten by wild animals.
Diego's companion is a baby jaguar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Roar.
His signature piece of clothing is a hyper-linked, video watch with a GPS locater.
You see,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Diego is a cartoon hero, to Dora's on screen admin assistant. He's wild and adventurous while she's making a plan with a talking map. Dora's greatest accomplishment is to get to grandma's house as she passes through the Choco-latte forest. She's on a mission of eating,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sharing and caring. Young Dora, is role modeling what we all become; women with backpack-like purses filled with stuff to save humanity and keep our lips glossy.
As a woman, I resent being a "backpack" owner. I want to be more like Diego and less like Dora. It would be wonderful to stop planning and fretting and just carry a bag of magic. On our next outing I'm going to leave the house backpack free. I can hear the conversation now:
"No. Mommy doesn't have a bag for garbage, or snacks or crayons -- carry your own jacket and stuffed animal. I'm sorry that you are hungry, this adventure is about magic food, and a magic map,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], today we are going to use our imaginations while we travel."
The purse is clearly a product of our society. Nurture all the way. Ladies, let's lose the luggage and start our days with a little less worry and little more adventure. Thanks Diego,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I feel freer already.

HuffPost High School welcomes a lively,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], thoughtful debate in the comment section. I wonder if there has ever been a study done on women and what they keep in their purses? I'm pretty sure it would be very telling. I used to carry purses so large that if they weren't so pretty, one could be forgiven for confusing them with my son's hockey bag. Once, after transferring all the crap from my humongous winter purse, to my suitcase sized summer purse, it struck me that if I was murdered on the street, and CSI was called to investigate my untimely demise, they would conclude that I was homeless. Among other things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I had clothing, some plastic grocery bags, chocolate, a travel mug and tea bags, a book and flashlight (in case I'm stuck in the subway with no power), small makeup bag and toothbrush and toothpaste, a pair of running shoes, a swiss army knife (Gibbs rule #9) and garbage. Besides being afraid that my murderer would remain free, my shoulders and back hurt and one arm seemed to be longer than the other. I downsized to a smaller bag - it was still bigger than a bread box,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but not big enough to hide a baby elephant and three of his friends like my previous ones were. I still have the imporant things in it (wallet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cell, toothbrush, knife) and room to spare, but I've decided that if I'm stuck in the subway I'll just take a nap while I await rescue.
