30 Posts That Show How Much Women Want Pockets In Their Clothes
Interview With Expert
Pockets. They hold our stuff so we don’t have to juggle it while walking down the street like professional circus performers.
Pockets are great. They’re perfect for putting your hands into when you don’t know what to do with them in an awkward social situation. Or if it’s cold outside.
Pockets are fantastic. They’re extra-dimensional doorways that transport loose change and candy into our clothes whenever we need them most. Need a quarter for the jukebox? No worries—your pockets have you covered. Feeling peckish? No problem—there’s a piece of candy from when you were a teenager in your jeans.
But not all clothes are sewn equally. Liberty, equality, and justice for all do not apply to all clothing. Especially when you take a look at women’s clothes. Either women’s clothing doesn’t have pockets at all, or their pockets are smaller than men’s, or their pockets are fake. Honestly, fake pockets are a scourge for men and women both and can go jump in a river. I once bought a suit that had fake pockets. I don’t think I’ve ever cursed louder.
There are plenty of women online demanding #PocketEquality, as well as joking about the topic left and right. We at Bored Panda have collected some of the funniest and honest memes about pockets in women’s clothing and we hope you enjoy them. So scroll down, upvote the posts you found amusing, and share this list with your friends whom you know have a pocket-deficiency.

Somewhere there is a clay tablet with a drawing on it depicting womens disappointment with lack of proper pockets. There is also a tin press, papyrus, and scrolls. We should make a comprehensive timeline of how long women have wanted proper pockets. Here we already have the example from the 50's.

I hate bags. I'd rather buy mens pants with 5 or more pockets, perhaps even cargo pants, than carry a bag everywhere.

More pockets = more weapon storage = fewer creeps. That's a win win win!

Someday my pocket prince will come... I'll be patient for a little while longer though. Give 'em -2 years or so.

Yes. Now, I ask you, which one keeps the phone from falling out and being damaged, or worse yet being stolen? Yeah, the man’s—-the one making 15%-20% more money, and doesn’t have to also contend with pink tax (Google pink tax, it’s systemic misogyny at its worst), so can more easily afford to repair/replace his phone.

The small pocket inside the slightly bigger pocket has a zipper, so it's threatening to scratch my phone (that only fits about halfway) every time. F**k that very much.

And God made women's pockets out of Adam's spare little toenail clipping. And His work was done.

And, of course, the pocket is useful for carrying around their child. If the male kangas had pockets they would carrying around a second girlfriend!

The most magical moment is when you think a blazer/jacket has fake pockets but it turn out nope, they're just sewn up.

I read an article once called "30 conspiracy theories, I actually believe". They mentioned this one. The reason why designers don't put pockets on women's clothes is so they can make them buy handbags. I don't know, but I can't think of a more plausible theory.

It's 100% true. It started in the 1929s. There was a documentary about it.

Yep. I have bought dresses and skirts that I didn't really like because they had pockets. Function over fashion in the end.
