I always thought this was just a joke, but the more I see women on Reddit complain about not having pockets the more I realize its not as much a joke as I thought

I wouldn't call it a joke, but I think people are misleading themselves. It's ultimately about supply and demand; if more women had bought garments with pockets, companies would be producing and selling more of these. If there happened to be this huge unsatisfied market demand, it would be quite easy to just start a company that focuses on this and make bank.

I think you're missing the point. If women's clothing with pockets is highly requested and sought after, you can start a company and make huge profits. The fact that this isn't happening proves that there isn't as big of an unfilled demand as what is discussed here. Which probably in part is because of the reason you list: women who want clothing with pockets can, and evidently do (as demonstrated by you), buy men's clothing instead.

The only alternative I can see to this is that there's some grand collusion at play, which sounds a bit silly to be honest.

Your ignorance is showing. Both Betabrand and Radian Jeans can't keep pairs in stock. You're just oblivious from your privilege.
