ELI5: Why is is considered socially unacceptable for men to carry purses?

Basically put, gender stereotypes are responsible for this social taboo. 

A man is supposed to carry a wallet, or something else considered a male thing to use. Purses are generally seen as a feminine item to use for carrying objects since so many women use purses.
