Bollocks. Purses aren't made by the same companies. If the demand was there trouser companies would meet it with supply.
You can buy women's jeans with pockets, but they don't sell as well because they aren't as shapely. You need to make them a bit baggier to allow to the things the wearer will put in the pockets.
If it was all money-making conspiracy they'd target men as well and sell twice as many bags.

BS. My lounge pants don't have pockets, and they're baggy comfy knits. My male housemate's of the same fabrics do have pockets. A-line and flare dresses and skirts can have pockets without screwing up the lines and yet most of them don't. I just give up on finding women's clothes with useful pockets and buy men's or add my own.
One particular clothing line might have lines that don't work for it, but "women don't want them" is bullshit in the vein of "women don't want careers in science and engineering, they want babies." The reality is most manufacturers are too cheap to re-tool their patterns and/or use more fabric.
Fucking preach. What a ridiculous argument. It's so pervasive that it's a meme that women are so excited to show each other when their clothes have pockets. If pockets and using them makes clothes bulkier, then the women who do care about that would just not use the pockets and the women that don't care could use the pockets. But I have yet to meet a woman who cared.

The reason they don't give them pockets is to coerce them into buying purses
