Everything is relative. For example, Shaq might not look tall when he's on camera next to other basketball players and Simone Biles might not seem short when you see her competing against other gymnasts but put them near each other and you'll instantly get an idea of their size.
So to broaden your understanding of the world, we at Bored Panda put together a new list of interesting comparison pictures from all sorts of different areas, including nature, technology, and social issues. It's a series we've been working on for a while too; if you like scrolling through these images, fire up our earlier publications here, here, and here. Maybe you missed some!

One reason more to just buy menās jeans and boicot the ridiculous female trousers.
I hate when people say this like it works for everyone. Men's jeans don't fit a lot of women correctly.
Load More Replies...Even a BABY boy got bigger pockets than we ladies... Sad. š
It's ridiculous. I've heard the excuse that women don't want extra "padding." F**k that. Stop being fatphobic. Some woman just want to be able to tote their keys, phone, wallet, and whatever else they need without carrying a shoulder-aching purse or twisting their fingers into octopus-like configurations.
the manufacturers manufacture what sells, u can wear whatever you want unless u want to marry a good looking man, if ur lesbian or 60 I guess it doesn't matter
Load More Replies...And women's jeans probably cost twice as much as comparable men's jeans, too. Gotta love (not) that Pink Tax. SMDH.
Not to mention the extra charge women pay for alterations. A lot of the time, men's alterations are free with purchase, but even if everyone pays for alterations (or dry cleaning) women pay more.
Load More Replies...Me too! Most of mine are sown shut, we dont wan't pockets for style we want pockets to actually hold stuff in!
Load More Replies...Its a conspiracy. The handbag industry woyld go out of business if women's pants had decent sized pockets. We dont want to drag a damn bag around, we are forced to. Now take on that anti mask sheeple hooting follies... Take a stand on that if you can. Smh
I mean, girl's pants rarely have proper pockets, but there's some clothing that has unnecessary pockets. Like, I have swimmers that have pockets (i'm a girl), and when I go to the beach, they get all filled up with rocks and sand.
I'm lucky to have slender hips & can buy men's jeans & cargo pants/shorts. Wrangler & Lee work the best for me. I've started seeing women's sweatpants with pockets but the pockets are still too small, so I'll stick with the men's, lol, especially since I can get the right length for my legs!
And that's why I wear Tripp pants ever since 1996. Deep pockets, baggy wide legs, don't have to carry a purse wearing Tripps. My 13yr old has discovered that she loves wearing my pants and doesn't have to take a purse to school anymoreš, tons of room to put her mascara, eye shadow and eye liner in her pockets for her guy friend to do her eye make up at school... Female jeans can't hold s**t. Men's skinny jeans can't hold s**t. Toddler pants and Tripp baggy wide leg pants can. School age kid clothes are just as bad as females pants especially with FAKE pockets
Stupid designers! Get the Duluth brand with lots of deep pockets all over them!
I finally found a brand of women's jeans that has only been around for about a year, but their major selling feature is roomy pockets. BIG pockets. I love them, my phone fits well in the front pocket!
Bet ya those still wouldn't hold as much as my Tripp pants does lol My back pockets are so deep that when I put my 6in phone my back pocket it takes an act of congress just to dig it out. I will put my handheld from work in my back pocket when I'm not using it so I don't lose it. I can also fit my handhelds printer into my back pocket(other employees will swipe it if you don't keep it hidden when you are not using it) I can put my 20oz drink bottles into my front pockets while I'm at work and no one knows that I have my coke in my pocket while out on the floor instead of water only. When my kids were babies I used to stash a diaper and thing of baby wipes into my back pockets and their bottle, spitup rag and binkies into my front pockets so I didn't have to lug around a bulky diaper bag (this was back in the early 2000s up until my youngest daughter got pottied trained at 3 in 2011)
Load More Replies...Asa fit tech I'm always seeing this and it gets annoying because people don't realize the bigger pocket won't be useful. This is comparing apples to oranges. The skinny jeans literally cannot have large pockets without affecting fit and comfort vs the sweat pants which are loose/baggy and can accommodate a large pocket
You miss-read the title. The picture on the right is of an 18 MONTH old BABY. (look at his wrist.) Those are BABY sweat pants. Not adult sweat pants.
Load More Replies...You know what another word for female pants (or trousers) could be? PAINT!!!
AWWWW! R U NOT aware that a cell phone should not be ANY WHERE NEAR A BABY OR CHILD UNTIL THEIR BRAINS HAVE REACHED 9/10 yrs old!!!!! EMFāS!!!!!! Stunt growth, cause diseases!!! Illegal in European countries/schools!! PEOPLE GET A CLUE!! Do ur research(not by a government or manufacturer!
I've read a lot of hubbub about the pockets in women's jeans but have never had trouble finding jeans with full-size front or back pockets. I can put my phone, keys, ID/cards, etc., in any of my jean's pockets. I have found that the more expensive the jeans, the smaller the pockets. The price I pay is regularly $40-60 per pair... Maybe I've just been lucky.
Here in Londoff, women just wear yoga pants 24/7. All up in there. I pity them.
This is why I stick to the mens genes and other genres of men clothing. Their genes are comfortable and most importantly... have real pockets that hold real items.
Like...What the hell??? why cant women have pockets?? is it " not lady-like ????" ugh
Oooooh how much i hate that. I bought myself some male joggers only because of the pockets. If women clothing had normal pockets maybe we could leave the house like men do. Keys, celphone and wallet in the pockets, no purse. I'd love that
Yup. Once again women's clothing not very functional.come on already.
Male privilege on display. The women's pocket is designed to hold 75% of the money a man's pocket can.
Gender equality can be measured by pockets. Women's fashion has small pockets while men's fashion have large ones. The size and amount of pockets is a perfect reflection.
I found a cute pair of jeans the other day. In addition to the usual four, it had four extras. I was super excited, naturally, only to find out after buying that the extra pockets were fake
this is why ruby bridges went to a white school. women are like the african-americans and men are the white americans. I would love to protest one day when i am older
Great comparison. Women shouldn't have to buy cargo pants just to get functional pockets.
I don't know who decided that women's jeans didn't need real pockets, but it's time to change.
Your 18 month old son's joggers are also designed to fit over diapers, pull-ups, etc.
Maybe I just got used to my teeny tiny daughter but that's a big 18 month old! Those joggers are adorable!!
With how widely known this pocket issue has become, and universally despised, why are they still making women's pants without real pockets???
Smartphones are designed for men, not women. Perhaps because most of them need something smart with them when the wife is away?
Stop buying pants without pockets and they'll stop making pants without pockets
Whatever the jeans cut, it's always the same : the pockets are ridiculously small.

My City Decided It Didnāt Want These Trees Anymore
My grans village was the same. Our street had lovely small trees since the 1900s when it was built. Big enough to be pretty but small enough to not feel oppressive in a small street. Around the 60s people starting cutting them because they all wanted to look city like to pretend to be fancier. My family kept the trees or replanted them until I was a teenager. I had seen neighbours breaking the branches and trying to kill them. At the end they both died and my grandmas gave up.
