    Truly spoken like someone who has:

    • never met a woman outside of tiktok
    • never had to shop for women’s clothing
    • never had to sift through miserable piles of size inaccacurate clothing with labels that don’t mean shit
    • never had to pick between pants that don’t trail 3ft past your ankle or pants so loose that they show your ass crack to everyone
    • never had to deal with a fluctuating waistline that changes several inches depending on the time of the month (bonus points if you have PCOS)
    • never had to experience the discomfort of belts digging into female hip bones
    • never had to pay a hefty premium for basic functioning pockets
    • never had to pay a hefty premium for basic functioning pockets and then find out they are the right length but several inches larger at the waist
    • never had to live with far higher standards of being well dressed and living up to men’s expectations of appearances
    • never had to buy a whole new set of pants during and after a baby
    • never had to suffer from the clothing industry’s deliberate attempts to force women to buy purses
    • never seen the joy on women’s faces when they find pants that don’t fit like a square peg in a round hole and has pockets
    • never felt the thrill of finding pockets on dresses

    Please stop telling women what they want and start fucking listening when they say they want pockets. Women aren’t choosing pocketless pants on purpose they aren’t given a choice. You are asking women to choose between pocketless pants or pocketed pants but 6" longer or wider and then fucking blaming them for the audacity of picking pants that don’t fall off their asses every time they stand up. You think women all have waist and length combination with the same distribution and variance as men’s because you have never bothered to open an anatomy textbook or speak to a woman before. Please stop. Please recite this to yourself as many times as you need until you fucking get it. WOMEN. WANT. POCKETS.
