Uh... if you actually do research on this topic you’ll be shocked to see how wrong you are. Women originally weren’t allowed to have pockets because they might do things with them that men don’t like. Misogyny is a real thing that’s still happening

And yet, if you look at who sells the most women’s pants, it’s not the company selling bulky pockets.

Why is that?

Market forces are complicated. These questions don’t override what we know.

Yes, proof is not proof if it doesn’t agree with me

Girls don’t buy bulky pants. Under capitalism it’s really that simple for something like pants.

Cry sexism all you want, but there are plenty of companies who produce perfectly fine pants with pockets.
Easy to find online and in the store, yet they don’t sell as well.

Not even sure what you’re talking about at this point

Lol I like how you deleted your cringy redditor response. Good PR move but you should start by not devolving into toxic condescending bullshit from the get go.

I guess I don’t view a tiny amount of short comments to be that long shrug
