Opinion on the Taiga Ivan

I want to purchase the Taiga Ivan, but a lot of my friends have been telling me that it looks to feminine for a guy. They say that it looks too much like the Manhattan. What's your take on it? I would love to hear your two cents.
 
I can't find one femine thing about this bag, i own it and LOVE it!

that makes me so mad they would say that!

A little fem maybe? Still like it though. Does it have a strap? If not that thing looks like it will get HEAVY
