So if I want pockets, my only choices are dresses or skirts. Because women are not allowed to have choices. Because women are not allowed to have functional pockets in jeans. Because women are not allowed to have functional pockets in non form fitting clothing.

Got it. Thank you, a man, for telling me, a woman, that I do not have other options and that I should just deal with it.

I suggest you go read a book, try this one.

    You have the choice to:

    • Buy a skirt
    • Buy a dress
    • Buy sweatpants
    • Buy jeans from one of the retailers listed in this thread
    • Buy jeans with unusable pockets and alter them
    • Buy "men's" clothes
    • Carry a bag with you

    You have choices. You are unhappy with the choices available, but are instead saying you have none.

    If you complained "I am unhappy with these choices" instead of complaining, "I am not allowed to have choices" you would not get people replying about the other choices you do, in fact, have.

    You, a man

    No thank you.

    • Buy a skirt I don’t want to and shouldn’t have to wear a skirt all the time for pockets
    • Buy a dress see above
    • Buy sweatpants see above
    • Buy jeans from one of the retailers listed in this thread pictures don’t mean they actually have proper pockets and I don’t buy pants online because I need to try them on to make sure they fit my hips
    • Buy jeans with unusable pockets and alter them this is something I have done, but should be unnecessary for pants that are not form fitting
    • Buy "men's" clothes these don’t fit my hips and when I wear a belt, it bunches the waist and gets extremely uncomfortable
    • Carry a bag with you I do this, but I shouldn’t have to always carry a purse to have my ID on me

    I just want damn pockets in my non form fitting clothes. Why is that such a sin for a woman to complain about?

    If you don't want the obvious replies, frame the complaint in a way that doesn't invite them. The original post is someone talking about the "right to have deeper jeans pockets" which invites the point that women already have options for deep jeans pockets.

    I'm not here telling you that all the choices you have are as good as the choice you wish you had.
