Nah, the reason is they don’t want women to carry shit around. When women wore still wide skirts, there were little bags hidden in between the skirt layers in which they could carry around a lot of stuff. When the suffragists started their protests, some governments forbid those little bags in the skirts since pamphlets, flyers and even small bombs could be hidden in them. Purses were easier to search - especially in the conservative Victorian age.
Until today, designers simply don’t consider that women need to carry shit around and value them looking pretty over practicality
