Old Navy had sleep pants on sale this weekend. The guys' pants had pockets but the women's didn't. WTF?
This is a huge problem in the women's clothing industry. Small or non-existent pockets. This is why women are forced to carry purses; which hinders their movements and leaves them more vulnerable to attacks by men.

Just wanted to say I’m very disappointed the title of this thread is not “Pantriarchy”

I'm officially boycotting Old Navy now.

I'm sure if women had a high demand for pockets in their pajama pants, Old Navy would sew them on.

Do you think that dresses have pockets?

No way women are ever fitting all the contents of their purses in a couple pant pockets.

I don't think you understand how purses work. First, you have a small purse (because NO POCKETS!) to carry the stuff you actually need. Then you have a little extra room so you add a few items. Then your husband keeps asking if you have ibuprofen so you add ibuprofen to the purse. Then your purse is stuffed full so you have to get a bigger purse, which means now there's more room for more stuff. Then when you go somewhere your husband asks you to put the car keys in your purse....etc....etc...etc....
....And then you end up with a big purse full of junk you don't need....when if your damn pants just had pockets in the first place, you wouldn't have even needed a purse to begin with!

You can buy women's pants with pockets, Mrs. Gooch. Dresses, too.

Bibbed overalls? Lots of pockets.

Sure, there are a few pants with pockets but the majority of women's pants have no or very shallow pockets. Try putting a wallet or a phone in a pocket that is only 2 inches deep.
And there are "specialty" dresses that have pockets, but not most dresses.

You guys are all now fully aware with what I have to deal with on a daily basis. :goodbyecruelworld:

For what it's worth, I'm not sure anyone here contends it is better to be a woman.
But I just ran this pantriarchy theory past Mrs. Dub and she looked at me like I was crazy. Her exact words were "I don't need pockets that's what I've got you for."
-
If most women wanted deep pockets, then most women's pants would have them.
-
Would raise the cost of pants for chicks
-
I like the pants with the little decorative pockets sewn on that can't possibly hold anything. Ladies' fashion is pretty ridiculous.

That's fine for women who like to depend on a man all the time.

I don't think the 64 square inches of thin pocket fabric is going to add that much cost.

What kind of pants are you talking about with 2 inch pockets? Like > 75% of girls I see wearing jeans but their phone in their back pocket. That pocket is deeper than 2 inches.

.20 cents could be the difference between acceptable profitability or not.

Yes! That dropping your phone in the toilet is a real risk.
Out of the 28 dresses in my closet, only 1 has pockets.

pockets on a dress...reno you are something else. :D

This article is about runway models showing off fashion aprons.
Lots of pockets, very alluring, sensuous, and fashionable.
That the ticket, modern aprons.

Lady gooch, does it make you angry that the pants I'm wearing have a small auxiliary pocket inside the large front pocket?

I have a pair of jeans with a double layer back pocket. a fullsize pocket sewed on top of a fullsize pocket. The inequity is real.
(i have no idea why these jeans have two pockets, have another pair, the same style, but different color and has only one pocket)

Well, what is the purpose of that pocket? Is it even big enough to hold anything?
Is it like this small pocket that you are supposed to be using for your pocket watch?

formal wear in winter is a nightmare. so many pockets to go through. women have everything they could ever need right there in the clutch.
-
All of those pocket(excluding the fake pockets) seem like the phone is very secure. Have you ever considered just getting a smaller phone? Maybe a flip phone?
-
I think the solution has been in front of you the whole time. Shop in the men’s clothing section. Oh, and prepare to be amazed once you lay your eyes on cargo pants.

It's supposed to be a watch pocket but it's inside the pocket not high up like jeans. And it's big enough to fit my phone about 3/4 up

Some men’s dress pants have internal phone pockets and they’re fantastic.

No, the phone will fall out if I sit down or even bend forward.

Oh so I should stand all day so that when I leave work and walk out to my car, I will be too tired to defend myself when a man starts to harass me?

You know what would be a good invention: a metal bar you place under your skin and then you can use a magnet to clip things to your side. All sexes would find that helpful. I hate having something jangling around in my pocket while running home, put my keys and stuff in a special box with strong magnet and boom.

Well I mean if you read the standing desk thread you need to work up to all day. Like just stand for an hour and sit etc until you can do all day. While you sit just put your phone on your desk. When you work up to standing all day you won’t be tired at the end of the day and will be able to defend yourself.
:dunno:

I like pants with a Thrill Pocket. You know, not sewn shut. You get a thrill looking for keys.

mrs. gooch, you're not supposed to sit down on your phone anyways.
chingon, aren't magnets bad for electronicy stuff and credit cards and other things people keep in pockets?

maybe get a pocket made of skin, like kangaroos use.

first they wanted the vote, then they wanted pants, and now it's pockets. is there no limit to feminine ambition?
tomorrow we'll hear that they want to pee without sitting down.

Form-fitting pants don't have pockets because the design/style of the clothes would be defeated by then trying to jam stuff into them. Looser pants allow for pockets and stuff in them. Women's styles are usually form-fitting while men's aren't. Usually. My boxer briefs and hypothetical running tights don't have pockets.

My baggy #KSTATEO sleep shorts do. That's the closest to other underwear that I have.
Go get you some JNCOs.

https://www.racked.com/2016/9/19/12865560/politics-of-pockets-suffragettes-women
Much has been written about how sexism dictates whether a garment gets usable pockets. While class unquestionably plays a part, men’s clothing tends to have capacious, visible pockets; women’s clothing tends to have small pockets, if any at all. Content with their pockets, men have little to say about them, but women have been complaining about the inadequacy of their pockets for more than a century. Plenty of Pockets in Suffragette Suit" reads a 1910 NY Times headline, and pockets aplenty is what you’d expect for a woman with polls on her mind. The suit, the piece explains, has seven or eight pockets, "all in sight and all easy to find, even for the wearer."
THE HILLARY PANTSUIT!!!
-
Yes! Exactly what I am saying.
The less women could carry, the less freedom they had. Take away pockets happily hidden under garments, and you limit women’s ability to navigate public spaces, to carry seditious (or merely amorous) writing, or to travel unaccompanied.
They even make reference to the pocket lib was talking about.

Mrs. Gooch is feisty. A Republican? I think she has a good point. She is educating us doofuses. I am going to be careful about the outfits I by Renosweets. No damn pantsuit though.

That looks a little too deep. Looks like you would have to go almost elbow deep into your pocket to fish out your phone.
