Yeah that's kind of true. Even though I'm skinny, a lot of the time after I eat I get a food baby and I almost look slightly pregnant from the side... and tiny boobs
Everything is made for flat chested women! Even though the average cup size is not small. Infuriating.
It's not that hard we just want clothing that makes sense, have universal sizes that actually mean something and pockets....it's not rocket surgery!!!!!
That's just how they are. It's best for cradling and feeding a baby, not fashion.
Comfort is much more important. Sexy ones are just for special occasions, and even then not necessary: If someone is going to see them, they're either going to get covered again or they won't stay on for very long anyway and if there is someone who is going to see you in them on regular basis, they're not going to care if they're comfortable or sexy panties.
Why are womens pockets (if jeans have them at all) always too small to put anything in there?
In men's pants, you can fit five houses, your washing machine and at least fifteen moving trucks inside of it. I can barely fit my wallet in women's jeans.
If I'm wearing tight skinny jeans, why would I want to cram stuff in my pockets?
I'm so short that I would have to buy them from the boys section!

I always end carrying all my GF stuff in my pockets because -understandably- she does not like to carry a bag when we go out partying, and she wears tight pants with fake pockets. I look like I wear saddlebags burdened with 2 smartphones, a wallet, a pack of kleenex and a full set of keys. :P
Literally the worst prank the fashion industry pulls on us. WHY are there fake pockets ffs?!
Yeah, I just sent an angry email to Torrid about that one. "You swear by the fit; why don't you swear by the pockets"? This is something you do when you get old: you send angry emails.
Dunno, I can stick my 5.5" phone in my jeans' pockets just fine. Admittedly they aren't the most fashionable ones or anything but they are female.
i pretty sure it was purposely done as “i am disappoint”. it sounds funny and it seems to be a rather odd mistake to make, so i think it was purposeful

she didn't buy them, she tried them on in the fitting room and realized that the women's clothing industry is a lie as big as the pockets.

My period pimples aren't done until they've also colonized my back and shoulders.
Yes, everywhere, even in food. One time I suddenly started coughing in the middle of the night. I couldn't stop because something was scratching my airways. It took me very long and it was a torture but I finally managed to cough it out and it turned out I had breathed in a cat hair in my sleep.
What is the fear of not having enough clean underwear away from home? At home it's NBD if I'm 1 pair from extinction, but I need 3 pairs a day for a weekend trip.
Never had anyone ask me this in my entire life while I was purchasing clothing. When I buy gum at a gas station- every time.
i don't get this. she's obsessed with rubber stamps?
Just wondering.. does a comic exist on Bored Panda that is NOT brutally honest?
Anyone else here have a random stuffed animal to cuddle with at night? Also, as a 16y/o girl, when I go to the store to but feminine products, I’ll avoid teenage boys and men who appear to be over 60 because the teenage boy is obvious, but the older men are likely to try to make small talk while scanning your items. Men in their 20-40s are more likely to just scan it and be done, they are there for the job. Most females will see the stuff and not bat an eyelid so I prefer them, if not females, the middle-ages mature but only there for the money men, or even the self-checkout if it doesn’t read what the product is.
I can relate to most of these - fortunately, as one gets older, there are many (problems) that go away. Something to look forward to :-)
I think it's like Medusa: one problem goes away to make room for two more problems #beardedlady #hotflashes

As a woman, I'm getting sick of seeing these here all the time. Either it's the woes of being a woman or the woes of being a mom, human or pet. How about a thread of comics CELEBRATING something in life for a change? Surely there's SOMETHING about being a woman we can get happy about?
