Reply to comment by The_SqueakyWheel in Baby clothes have pockets but babies have zero need for pockets. Meanwhile women's clothing often lacks pockets when women desperately need them. by HalfLawKiss

Have you ever actually looked at women's clothing? Even jeans come with fake or pointlessly shallow pockets, wtf are we meant to wear, exclusively cargo trousers?

And yes, we are allowed to buy clothes and be annoyed that the designers decided yet abloodygain that we don't need pockets, because if we ignored everything that didn't have them we'd have a choice of about 4 items.

That was my point. My girlfriend and I, some years ago were talking about how women's pants and shorts and ect often have false pockets. We concluded that it's maybe because the expectation is that women will carry a purse or pocket book. But I've forever remained perplexed by the false pockets.

I think you're probably right, but that's annoying in itself because a lot of us will only carry a bag because we don't have pockets. I actually found some flattering, good fitting jeans last year that had useable front pockets, and nice deep back ones. It was like winning the lottery 😄

Oh it's absolutely done to force us into buying bags which are disproportionately expensive

There has been multiple times my husband has accidentally worn my jeans instead of his, and not realised until he tried to put something in the pocket
