For too long, feminists have focused on unimportant issues like voting rights, equal pay, and the ability to hold credit cards without a male cosigner. This is the only demand that truly matters for gender equality. If women get pockets, then the rest will follow.

    One of classmates always had deep pockets. One time I joked how deep and she pulled out an umbrella. I wished I asked the brand. I was too confused from what seemed like some sort of Vegas illusion.

    Am woman. Love the little guys so much.

    opossums@lemmy.world is filled with them 🥹

    (I don't know how to properly link a Lemmy community so I hope that did it...)

    Also TIL the difference between Opossum and Possum, the white ones who play dead are from North America, while the brown sugar-glider looking friends only live in Australia, New Zealand, and China. They're not the same at all, and in fact Possums are too friendly, don't play dead, and will literally walk up to people.

    A woman who has everything she wants.Image of a woman in a risqué cosplay outfit that consists of military style belts with lots of pockets but no actual clothes (Nudist Beach Nonon).

    Women's cargo pants at military surplus stores are a thing

    I had a partner who wore these and I admired that she bucked the trend of tight clothing

    I definitely want pockets. I’ve had a lot of luck with dresses and baggy work pants. The baggy jeans style has also made pockets easier to find. I feel like having to outsource my storage to a bag I carry is a liability.

    I remember reading a comment saying that women don't actually want pockets. The manufacturers and retailers have data on this.

    What's happening is the women who do want them are in online bubbles that give them the impression that most women want pockets.

    It's like how most gamers don't give a shit about DRM, so those of us who know better are stuck with it anyway.

    The only data I could find suggests women do want pockets, particularly in pants.

    Is the hypothesis that companies have their customers' best interests in mind? /shrug I'm just going to base my worldview on the only data I could find rather than "I remember reading a comment." At least until I run across new data.

    Planned obsolescence, subscription degradation, ad creep, landfills full of cheap crap... It's in their interests to sell the least useful thing for the highest price. If it costs more to put in pockets, they'll spend a surprising amount of money trying to convince people they don't want pockets. Or better yet, just buy up every competitor until there are only a few players and decide amongst yourselves not to make better stuff. I'm not saying that's what happened, necessarily, it's just not a foregone conclusion that pockets are scarce because demand is scarce.

    So you've got a very vocal market calling out their demand for a product that is more or less trivial to manufacture, and yet not a single entrepreneur has successfully brought the product to market. Why would that be?

    A quick search confirms that women's clothing with pockets does in fact exist, so the niche is getting served.

    It takes significantly more time in shopping. Online, the normal look at 25 items to find one that matches my style preferences and is available in my size, then add clicking through all the product detail tabs to try to figure out if it has pockets, 80% of them don't, and of the ones that do it's mostly hope that they aren't poorly designed where everything falls out of them upon sitting down.

    I appreciate that, with a multiple of the shopping time investment required by men or women who don't value pockets, and some fallout in unusable pockets, women's clothing with pockets is available. But I sure wish it was more available.

    I became aware of this once in the office where a woman brought up the fact that guys were lucky to have functional pockets. Most pockets on womans clothing are either fake or are sewn shut and for looks.

    I asked why? And she explained it ruins the "Pants Chi". I guess it gets in the way of showing off the figure somehow.

    My SIL doesn't want pockets, but she is wealthy and into style. I think some of the women who don't want pockets are into style and/or looking wealthy enough to not need pockets.

    Women who are pragmatic want pockets.

    I've been ripping open pockets and sewing more fabric onto them making them big.

    Yes the marauder in all its inceptions is a wonderful machine. I'm planning an all marauder lance for my current playthrough of BTA3062. Marauder II, Nightstar, Marauder IIC, and a MAD-5M (just for nostalgia). All with clan tech

    So in the HBS Battletech, my ride of choice is a MAD-3R with 2x + LgLas, ++UAC2 and 2x ++MdLas. Double heatsinks all around and maxed out frontal armor. Combine that with Called Shot Mastery and you can CT one shot most opponents.

    I will never understand women moaning about pockets. They had pockets. They had big huge massive pockets that were hidden away inside great big swinging wide legged pantaloons. But women didnt like them, cos they werent skin tight. So they fell out of fashion. You can still get them, but people dont. Cos they want things that cover them like a small condom on a magnum dong.

    Christ, some jeans are even doing away with the buttons and the zipper, cos it takes away from the tightness. You all did this to yourselves. You chose looking "sexy" over comfort.

    Yeah, not like they cant just not buy the pocketless skin tight shit... right? I mean, those trousers, with the big pockets are still there in the shops. But the bulk of sales is still going to camel toe showing jeans and leggings. So, yeah. THEY, fucking chose. No matter what the rabble of social media simps and pick me girls wants to say.

    Yes, have you? And are you still pretending that the demand doesnt drive the supply???

    As I already posted, https://www.next.us/en/shop/womens/clothing/trousers/f/style-wideleg?p=1#438 Big pockets in just about all of these. So, lets stop with the lie that woman cant have big pockets. Its a problem of your own making. Because women would rather "look sexy" than be comfortable or have pockets. Vanity drives the small/no pocket market. Nothing else.

    And how many clothes with deep pockets have you seen? Because I have seen exactly fucking zero. Also, you sound like someone who never spoke to a woman, because anyone in their right mind will rather feel comfortable. Add to this another thing: go google women's clothes designers.

    I gave you a link. And for some reason, you gave me a link back with all the shit that women flock to buy.

    I dont really get what youre doing here, other being terrified of being wrong. Women buy jeans/trousers with small/no pockets because they want to "look sexy". The trousers are there. The jeans are there. But no one is buying, and the demand drives the market.

    Do you get it now, or do I need to break out the special crayons?

    No, I laugh at how all the foundation you've got under your worldview is "I'm gonna call people cunts and this is how I prove I am right". That's pathetic, so lol

    We gotta respect the struggle: my man is out here doing a sociological analysis of the history of women's fashion even though his brain is capable than no more than a Petri dish worth of depth. Was it a good analysis? No, but he tried and he had courage, never let your limitations shape your destiny.

    Ah, the classic personal attack instead of attacking the argument. Social media is such a wonder. Just an endless gaggle of cave brained cunts that have never felt the velvety softness of the back hand when being a prick.

    Women often have pocketses. It's considered better form/preference to show off their ass better without using them.

    I think every statement I've ever heard from women about pockets is that women's clothes often don't have and require more pockets, but that might be survivorship bias where the ones who dont care are silent.

    I personally have a great ass but I wouldn't choose to wear pants without pockets.
