There's some speculation based on historical evidence that when women in Western countries were wearing "pockets" (sizable bags or pouches tied around the waist and under the topmost skirt) in the 18th century, that was dangerous! She could have seditious literature in there, or love letters from an affair she's having! Or a weapon! Women have too much privacy when they have pockets! So there's some speculation that this was when pockets were discouraged or driven out of style and women had to start carrying only a few things in a small bag or reticule and dresses became less voluminous and without large crinolines (which would return in the mid-1800s, but I digress). Think of the changes between Marie Antoinette's era and Jane Austen's era.

My theory is sometimes they don’t like to add extra stuff to women’s clothes so they just don’t sew on extra pockets and attempt to sell the idea the idea of it being stylish or trendy. Kind of like the skinny runway trend thing. If this doesn’t make sense, it’s because I thought it up 20 seconds ago.

You’re probably right. I actually never thought about that!!

They'd have to stitch "TURBO MONSTER ROCKET" on the side to get men to carry them. And the funny thing is that historically - in Europe, I mean - it was MEN who carried purses!

Nah, women historically carry more stuff with them then will ever fit in a pocket or two. Making bags a necessity that is kindly used by the industry. That's how handbags became a thing. Not the other way around. Where else would Nanny Fine put her entire chicken... No but really, putting women in the stupid corner totally at the hands of an industry to begin with is not ok. But more and more stuff is just on your phone and make up lasts longer than a few minutes if you wear it to begin with. So. Pockets please?

I think you’re onto something there.

I had never thought of that, very well pointed out. However, I rarely have a handbag cause, well... I need a backpack, they don't make handbags big enough :D

No one ever steals me rock.

That's why the majority of women's jeans don't have front pockets, it's a marketing scheme.

GENIUS!!

I will buy men’s jeans and shorts if it means I can go out without a messenger bag or purse.

Also, because if any women are like me, I love dresses but never know what to do with my hands.

True (about the man-bag thing).

why can't women start a thing. NO POCKETS, NO BUY!! Pass it on

Some of them could be little chocolate eggs, some plastic eggs ...

They represent the three primary body divisions in a standing human, legs, torso, and head. If a snowman only had two you might imagine they were a human so fat that they had no visible neck.

The answer always given when no other presents itself: Just because.

no clue .-.

Aww. This is probably the cutest thing I've read in a long time
