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.

I was wondering why my GF (now wife) often gave me stuff like keys to carry when she didn't have her purse with me, since her pants seemed to have pockets. However, they were actually fake pockets. Just a nice looking design but they couldn't actually be opened

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a real conspiracy, I'm telling you. They're giving women the little things so that they won't ask for pockets.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Exactly and as you can see from my example, she immediately lost her independence and needed me to carry things and later get them back. I had the pockets.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 17 points 1 month ago

This is a big reason that young women feel like they have a lot of pressure to get married to a wealthier man that has the resources to have pockets, or if they can't find one, settle for one that has at least a decent hoodie. I feel like a lot of them wouldn't bother if they didn't have to rely on the pockets of men.

Women will also complain how stuffed pockets ruin the look of clothes with unsightly bumps and they usually have clothes that are tighter around the body compared to men's clothes. The compromise for the producer was making fake pockets and hope somebody will invent a pocket of holding.

My partner was doing this, sure the jeans don't have pockets but your coat has pockets. But you was just carrying her phone around in her hand all day, just asking for it to be snatched kind of gives me anxiety. All of this because she said she didn't like having things in her pockets, because it made her feel unbalanced.

She seems so unused to pockets that she can't interact with them when she does have the option.

Sometimes when one has been deprived of freedom for a long time, it may feel unnatural to use it.

Hell yes, I'm all for it. It's insanity that we don't have wage parity at this point

definitely possums. Not a woman, but I fucking love possums

[–] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (9 children)

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.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago

There is often a difference between “consumer wants” and “we will not profit enough to bother”

[–] Hackworth@piefed.ca 7 points 1 month ago (9 children)

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

the lack of pockets is symbolic of sexism.. it's not about packing them full of things.

Was expecting preciousss, but that works too. Could also do a hobbit version with Po-tay-toes.

Polar bears? ... I seem to remember something about bears being preferred over men.

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).

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 3 points 1 month ago

Plus women look hot in cargo pants

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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.

And an AWS-8Q to mount them on. Just watch your heat.

Dead image, no issues with other images on Lemmy, but the image host "slrpnk.net" just doesn't seem to work.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It works for me

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 4 points 1 month ago

I had an issue today with lemmy.zip and it turns out they have cloudfare and it was breaking images for the captchachahcahca.
