You know the old adage: give a woman a bag and she'll fill it for a day. Teach a woman to pack and she'll fill every damn bag she owns (or something of that ilk).

About This Quote

The underlying message of this quote above is that women are more than capable of taking care of themselves. The words of the old adage are the kind of thing that women hear all the time, so what's new? However, what's truly interesting about this particular quote is that it was written in reference to a bag. It seems that men have always been able to create a world in which they were in charge. Women, on the other hand, seem to be better equipped to handle life in their own way. Women fight less hard for things they believe in because they know that someone else will do it for them if they need it.
