    Buy the clothes with pockets then FFS. Stop whining about being oppressed over pockets.

      Men’s pants are designed to fit men’s bodies. It’s very difficult to find men’s pants that fit a woman’s body.

      I still remember my husband insisting I could borrow his jeans one day when I realized I had packed the wrong thing. He didn’t believe me that they wouldn’t fit until I tried them on and couldn’t get them over my hips.

        So buy the women’s clothes with pockets. Or get them tailor made or learn to sew them yourself. Or wear the less flattering options that have pockets. The world doesn’t owe you the specific clothes you want and there is no grand conspiracy to keep women from having the size of pockets a few would prefer. Seriously, do you consider everything that doesn’t cater to you a conspiracy against women? I’m so sick of hearing the whining outrage over very trivial shit as if it has any importance at all.

          Says the man throwing a fit because women are having a conversation about…checks notes…pant pockets.

        Men’s pants are sold by leg length and waist size, you can get a pair that are long enough for you and large enough for your hips.

          Then the waist gaps.

          If I get men’s pants that fit my hips, then they don’t fit my waist.

          Sometimes they don’t fit my thighs either.

          Because women are generally shaped different than men.

            My ex, a woman, complete with a woman’s hips, pretty much exclusively wore men’s trousers. Sometimes with a belt.

                And men too!

                But seriously, if I take what you’re saying at face value that this is a practical problem, large trousers and a belt will give you trousers that cover your legs and don’t fall down.

                What I suspect you want is trousers that not only fulfill your functional requirements but which you also think look good. And that is not even an unreasonable desire, but it is clearly a different desire, and one which I don’t think is problem that needs urgently addressing on a societal level. The fact that there is a tradeoff between

                • readily available
                • suits you
                • practical

                is at the level of annoying.

                  Yes as detailed exactly in the other comments.

                  But y’know, wouldn’t want women to think we deserve to have clothes we like.

                  This entire conversation is about how annoying it is. That’s it.

              I can’t force you to realize the truth about some things like that women’s hips, waist, and thighs are generally much different than men’s. Especially when it comes to pants.

              I’m out of ways to inform you. If you don’t want to believe women, go right on ahead.
