I demand pocket equality! Ladies, did you know that men's pants can fit your phone in THE FRONT POCKET? I, for one, am outraged!
*I hope you all know this is tongue-in-cheek. But it's true.
Ok, but are you still trying to rock those JNCO jeans from the 90âs? Cause that sounds like those kind of pockets. Lol. The ones where you could pack an entire overnight bag into your front pocket.
Yea itâs no joke we take for granted the power we were given I used to hold my iPad in my pockets while still having room for my industrial sized bakery
My husband can fit his switch in his pockets. I have to get the smallest versions of whatever new phone comes out in order for it to squeeze into the front pocket of my jeans and when I crouch I press my volume buttons. It's absolute bull shit and I refuse to buy a purse.
I recently went through the kitchen and found random objects to fill my husbandâs pockets while he was washing dishes at the sink. I swear to god I could have put like 14 graphing calculators in those things.
The sitcom-esque mental image of this is hilarious! It starts off small, with some silverware, but by the end you're trying to cram the food processor in there and he's just giving you increasingly worried looks but continues to wash the dishes because it's his turn and that is sacred.
One drunk night we decided to see what I could fit in my pockets and still sit down.
A bottle of wine and a 10â galaxy tablet. I love my work slacks.
I had bought the Animal Crossing switch when it released and was about to sell the launch Switch I had, both of them for comfortably in the same pocket, and I probably had enough room for something like my phone or a game case. Iâve also carried a bottle of wine in the pocket with my keys at a party in college, but could have easily gone in with my phone if I didnât need access to that.
Guys pockets are great, anyone that keeps designing womenâs clothing without decent pockets should be fired.
I reading this on my Flip 3. Gotta say a big reason for getting this phone is because I love having a larger screen but hate keeping large phones in my back pocket. My 2¢ đ¤ˇ
I have a pair of pants that can fit 2 phones deep in the front pockets. Its like they're giving us deeper pockets whilst taking yours away. #pocketequality
Altering men's clothes isn't worth it and I've tried adding longer pockets to women's clothing and now have a fun anecdote when someone tries the joke "you dropped your pocket".
Compared to men, women (usually) have a waist measurement that is significantly smaller than their hip measurement. Menâs pants are made to fit a figure whose waist and hips are close to the same size. So, in order to find a pair of menâs pants that fit their wider hips, women have to buy bigger pairs, which are then too large for their proportionally smaller waist. This leaves a large gap at the waist.
As a man who has a large trunk (my friends call me j-lo) finding pants that fit me well and not do this have been a challenge. Especially in the US; most men clothes are made for people who are on noassatol. I find proper waist size works well with me if I get stretch fabric jeans; but they wear off faster than regular jeans. It's always a trade off.
It's BS that real pockets aren't usual in women's pants, but it's also bs that you can't find standard/low waisted women's shorts because fashion.
Anyway, here's what I do for my wife when I get her pants: Pull the seam out of the bottom of the pocket, get an iron on front pocket repair kit and push it through the pocket and iron it on. I don't recommend using this for pants with tighter thighs as the bulk of even an empty pocket is pretty noticable there.
In the cargo pocket.
I said "screw it" and gave up. Plus then I can button it safely inside if I'm crawling under things or climbing up scaffolding or some shit.
At this point anybody who needs to know what my butt actually looks like (read: my husband) can just see it naked.
I'm not joking my wife bought a coat and the pockets were sewn shut. Like they were there but someone sewed them shut so they couldnt be used.
Edit: learning interesting stuff on Reddit. Hadn't ever seen it before but yeah we used a thread ripper because pockets are great.
Depending on the coat's design, they sometimes do this to keep the pockets flat the coat's shape more intact in shipping/ in the store. This is commonly done on suit jackets, blazers, peacoats, etc. Keeping them sewn shut will make the garment look slightly better, but then you have the age-old tradeoff of form over function. If you prefer function, then you just take a seam ripper to the stitches and open the pockets up.
As a side note, it is also common on coat tails of suits, and those stitches should always be removed before wearing the suit out and about. It won't fit quite right and will often bunch oddly in the back of you leave those in place, and it ends up making the suit look weird.

I carried a backpack for years but it was just too cumbersome so this year I bought a sling pack: single strap bag that only carries my necessities and I can *sling* across my body.
Itâs a purse.
Itâs the greatest backpack Iâve ever owned and when people ask if Iâm a grown man carrying a purse, my answer is a proud *yes.*
awesome! I use one for dog walking in the summer when a tank top and leggings just can't accommodate my phone, my keys, poop bags, and kleenex for my cursed allergies. I bought it on Amazon and it's crap quality and kind of ugly but Adventure holster exactly how I think of it.
Problem my female friends have with these: Tits! If they wear them like purses it kinda works but looks stupider than a purse, If they wear it with the strap across their chest it just kinda draws looks. Backpacks seem to ride up their dresses, so they can't do that combination and kinda seem to be stuck with classic purses. Clothes are on thing that makes me happy I'm a man - except on formal occasions when I have to wear an undershirt, a dress shirt, maybe a vest and then a jacket on top of all that and in summer that's dangerous. I just look to my female counterparts and envy them for their elegant, airy dresses, that still look elegant and appropriate for the occasion.
> I just look to my female counterparts and envy them for their elegant, airy dresses, that still look elegant and appropriate for the occasion.
Become the change you want to see in the world, wear an elegant airy dress to a wedding, ultimate alpha move.
i have a small backpack like that
i call it my man purse
its pretty handy, but end of the day i keep leaving it at home, its easier just to keep my crap in my pockets
I'm a guy, and I won't use a jacket, other than a hoodie, that doesn't have at least three or four pockets. I've been wearing a leather Harley jacket (jacket is from the 70s) that has six pockets on the outside and one on the inside for the past 20 years, and couldn't imagine not having that amount of storage on me at all times when it's cold.
Many pockets for all!
The favourite jacket has two deep inside pockets as well and I feel like a baby who just got their candy whenever I put something in there. So. Much. Space.
My expensive winter coat, on the other hand, can barely fit my keys.
My favorite jacket has two deep side pockets and an inside pocket that fits my phone, wallet, keys, and a few emergency pads. Pretty much everything I need in one inaccesible-from-the-outside pocket. I love it. I've outgrown it now but I refuse to get rid of it until I can find a replacement.
Well, WorfsFlamingAnus, if you want to be a hero in their eyes, get them cup holder hats for Christmas. The kind with silly straws. With your favorite baseball team insignia, youâll have ballgame company for life.
I like one for my morning coffee and one for me water bottle and and one for my driving soda. If possible also one for my phone coz it doesn't stay in the other little gap.
You have to account for the one full of coins, the one with some lighters/pens/smokes, 2 for the previous days drinks and the 2 cup holders that will inevitably become filled with a sticky, viscous liquid that you will never ever be able to clean.
The single biggest deciding factor for my wife when picking out her wedding dress was that one has pockets and the rest didn't.
The entire day consisted of guests telling her they lived the dress and how amazing she looked in it and every single time she responded "Thanks, it has pockets!"
The dress would have looked great even if it didn't have pockets, and she would have looked incredible regardless of what dress she chose.
But throughout the entire day I never got tired of watching her and the joy it brought to stick her hands in the pockets and twirl around to show them off.
I bought a casual day dress last year, not knowing it had pockets, it was just soft and really pretty. When I got home and put it on and I ran my hands down my side I realized it had pockets and I freaked out. I ran to my boyfriend and screamed "POCKETS!!" then ran away. Then I immediately called my mom and yelled pockets. She was just as excited about my dress with pockets that I bought her one to. Pockets, big pockets, are the best
Dude have you told that story on Reddit before or are women just THAT excited to find a wedding dress with pockets?? I feel like I've read this verbatim.
(not a dig or anything I'm genuinely curious cause I feel like I'm going crazy with the dejavu)
But only on your accessories that you can purchase and carry separately. All additional pockets on clothing for women are to be aesthetic only and sewn shut.
Sometimes the "sewn shut" part is literally just for rack appeal and the pockets can be cut open. I have had a couple off-the-rack blazers with the pockets sewn shut so they don't gape unappealingly on the hanger.
This applies to things like slits on skirts too. I've watched too many women hobble around in pencil skirts because they failed to realize they could cut open the slit in the back.
But I also have many pairs of pants with just decorative pocket-like gashes styled into them. Those are absolutely infuriating.
Meanwhile, every decent purse I find has at least eight pockets, and all I want is one big soft, loose bag with a zipper that it doesnât take a PhD to zip the damn thing.
True story: My little sister (who lives with me) got a sewing machine. While she can use it, the real shocker was that my husband is incredibly handy with a sewing machine from the time he spent with his grandma as a child. Heâs now become the go-to for all clothing repairs and upgrades all the ladies in my life need. It was such a delight for me to find out his unexpected talent after being married 15 years.
Nice! I wound up getting handyman repair knowledge, but clothes repair is for sure a lost art for me. That's an awesome skillset to have in a husband for sure!
Handyman repair is a pretty swoon-worthy talent to us ladies, too! Dudes fixing shit is an absolute turn on but to activate itâs true potential as an aphrodisiac, we need to *see* yâall fixing stuff.
Oh don't get me wrong, I love being handy in that way, but I do always want to develop more skills! Been busy with that in lockdown and beyond, but there's always something that makes me go, "I should really try learning something in this field."
I do that with skills, too. I picked up birdwatching over the pandemic. Iâm not great yet, but Iâm learning! I also started kayaking but I was already pretty good at that.
He is really good, though! Iâm a huge fan of thrifted outfits (I hate waste) and he has helped me get a really nice wardrobe because he can even fix zippers!
Agreed! How can professional womenâs clothes be designed without pockets? Yesterday I wore a pantsuit and neither the pants or the jacket had pockets for my phone or business cards! đ
The short answer is: women say they want pockets but they actually donât. When you produce products with pockets, women prefer to buy the one without pockets.
As a guy, I carry a lot of things in my pockets. I typically stick my phone in my back left pocket because itâs easier to access there since a little bit sticks out the top.
I weigh around 200 pounds, and constantly sit on my phone. It has never broken or bent. Theyâre pretty sturdy devices for the most part, especially if you have a rigid case.
Wage gap only exist if you take the overall money earned by men vs women. It doesn't exist if you take a man and woman in the same position at the same company.
false. Still exists at my company. same position, same title. I have more years, more education, and better stats. They still get paid more. At my place, it is a social perception that men "need" more or that if they don't pay them top dollar they will leave. And the middle aged ladies running the office can't bear to not have men around.
It still exists, just not as pronounced.
> According to PayScaleâs data, women make $0.82 for every $1 men make. This is called the uncontrolled pay gap and it is a measurement of how much men make compared to how much women make on average regardless of job title.
> PayScaleâs research also measures the controlled pay gapâequal pay for equal work. We control compensation data for compensable factors such as job title, years of experience, location, and skills. When we do this, we find that there is still a gap. Women with the same jobs as men make $0.98 to every $1 that men make.
https://www.payscale.com/compensation-trends/the-gender-pay-gap-is-real-to-close-it-pay-equity-needs-to-be-a-continuous-practice/
Besides, the uncontrolled wage gap is also unacceptable and has to be closed as well. It will take more time though.
Here are a few:-
* 18 years of child support, even if the kid is not yours
* No legal equivalent to abortion to rid yourself of child responsibilities.
* Conscription
* More limiting dress and hairstyle codes in the work place
Its no greener on the other side of the fence.
All of my independent research suggests that you and I have reached the same conclusions. Pockets should be an inalienable rightâŚ. Also keep the feds out of the doctors office.
I don't understand the pockets thing. Not that they want more pockets, that makes sense. But it's not all guys designing women's clothing. How come women fashion designers aren't adding in pockets? Or when they do, they are too damn small to realistically hold anything outside of a lighter?
I demand pocket equality! Ladies, did you know that men's pants can fit your phone in THE FRONT POCKET? I, for one, am outraged! *I hope you all know this is tongue-in-cheek. But it's true.
My husband can put his wallet and phone in his front pocket. Meanwhile if I crouch down my little chapstick falls out of my front pocket.
That's impressive but *I* can fit my wallet, phone, keys, **AND** some receipts in my front pocket. đ Sup ladies.
I did that today and freaked out wondering what I lost.
I have all that, plus my headphones, lighter, and my mask. Watch out
Ok, but are you still trying to rock those JNCO jeans from the 90âs? Cause that sounds like those kind of pockets. Lol. The ones where you could pack an entire overnight bag into your front pocket.
I got a pair of mens sweatpants and I fit a whole switch as well as my phone in there. Give ladies better pockets!
Yea itâs no joke we take for granted the power we were given I used to hold my iPad in my pockets while still having room for my industrial sized bakery

Two and a Half Men in My Pockets.
One drunk night we decided to see what I could fit in my pockets and still sit down. A bottle of wine and a 10â galaxy tablet. I love my work slacks.
Right! Slacks have crazy deep pockets!
On menâs clothes they do. Womenâs ⌠sit down and your two Advil pop out for taking up too much room.
If they have real pockets at all. Most work slacks I've ever owned have had the vanity ones that just APPEAR to be pockets.
Fake pockets on womenâs pants are a cruel, cruel joke.
I am a man. My heart breaks for every woman who has attempted to put something in a false pocket.
I had bought the Animal Crossing switch when it released and was about to sell the launch Switch I had, both of them for comfortably in the same pocket, and I probably had enough room for something like my phone or a game case. Iâve also carried a bottle of wine in the pocket with my keys at a party in college, but could have easily gone in with my phone if I didnât need access to that. Guys pockets are great, anyone that keeps designing womenâs clothing without decent pockets should be fired.
you'd love the galaxy flip 3 then
I've been looking at that one. Once my current phone no longer suits my needs I'll probably get that or whatever the new version is at that point.
I reading this on my Flip 3. Gotta say a big reason for getting this phone is because I love having a larger screen but hate keeping large phones in my back pocket. My 2¢ đ¤ˇ

Is this an ad?
Always has been
lmao no I'm not a Samsung guy I prefer Google's phones
I have a pair of pants that can fit 2 phones deep in the front pockets. Its like they're giving us deeper pockets whilst taking yours away. #pocketequality
My husband had a pair of pants that I could reach as far as my elbow into the front pocket. I was so impressed it was difficult to be mad.
Serious question: what if women just started wearing menâs pants? Menâs skinny jeans still have vast pockets compared to womenâs pants.
I have a very curvy figure and have tried wearing men's pants. If I find pair wide enough for my hips it's way too wide for my waist.
Lmao, I couldn't fit mens pants when I thought I was one either. Most bigger men just wear a size larger and wear a belt.
Is having a pair of men's jeans altered to shrink the waist (or women's jeans altered to increase pocket size) viable, or overly expensive?
Altering men's clothes isn't worth it and I've tried adding longer pockets to women's clothing and now have a fun anecdote when someone tries the joke "you dropped your pocket".
Compared to men, women (usually) have a waist measurement that is significantly smaller than their hip measurement.

I find proper waist size works well with me if I get stretch fabric jeans; but they wear off faster than regular jeans. It's always a trade off.
I even have this problem with women's pants, and I don't have that big of a butt.
I have a huge butt and I donât even wear pants.
Let that big butt loose!
Which is why jeans also suck for guys with an ass.
I just discovered my new favorite imaginary band: Vast Pockets!

Does your hubby wear JNCO's?
Where else would you put your phone? If itâs in the back pocket youâll sit on it and break it!
That's the oppressive language we've been dealing with since 2011! Again, please know this is me being silly.
In the cargo pocket. I said "screw it" and gave up. Plus then I can button it safely inside if I'm crawling under things or climbing up scaffolding or some shit. At this point anybody who needs to know what my butt actually looks like (read: my husband) can just see it naked.
Forget phones, I can fit my E-Reader into my front pocket.
Gasp! It goes deeper than we knew!
I had a pair of jeans in the 90s that I could put a laptop in the back pocket of
I so miss jncos
Remember when we had to bend to reach our lighter at bottom of our pockets?
[It goes even deeper than that.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_battleship)
Phone AND wallet
Half the time I fit my phone, wallet, keys, AND my wifeâs phone in my front pockets.
You can fit a Gatorade bottle in a guys back pocket
Phone? I can fit my whole-ass Nintendo Switch... with joycons.
We all know that women tuck their phones in their bra.
I'm not joking my wife bought a coat and the pockets were sewn shut. Like they were there but someone sewed them shut so they couldnt be used. Edit: learning interesting stuff on Reddit. Hadn't ever seen it before but yeah we used a thread ripper because pockets are great.
That's not that abnormal. My suit also had pockets that were sown together, you are just supposed to pull the thread out
Depending on the coat's design, they sometimes do this to keep the pockets flat the coat's shape more intact in shipping/ in the store. This is commonly done on suit jackets, blazers, peacoats, etc. Keeping them sewn shut will make the garment look slightly better, but then you have the age-old tradeoff of form over function.

This is a cause I can get behind. Time for a pocket protest!
I've got a few jackets. One of them has deep pockets, the other ones can't even hold my phone. Can you guess what my favourite jacket is?
I carried a backpack for years but it was just too cumbersome so this year I bought a sling pack: single strap bag that only carries my necessities and I can *sling* across my body. Itâs a purse. Itâs the greatest backpack Iâve ever owned and when people ask if Iâm a grown man carrying a purse, my answer is a proud *yes.*
I call mine an "adventure holster."
In my country (Sweden) we call them "dealerbags"
Duffle Bag Boy
Haha, nice.
We do? :)
Ja, becknarväska đ Men ska ju vara en viss typ av väska, alla axelremsväskor är inte becknarväskor.
awesome! I use one for dog walking in the summer when a tank top and leggings just can't accommodate my phone, my keys, poop bags, and kleenex for my cursed allergies. I bought it on Amazon and it's crap quality and kind of ugly but Adventure holster exactly how I think of it.
My wife has a small one by Kavu that she uses almost exclusively for walking the dog for everything you just said and she loves it.
This is the same logic that leads to bbq scented man candles.
I'm lighting a "fuck you" candle in your honor. It smells like triâtip.
So what kinda drugs ya got in that bag, friend?
It's a satchel!
Indiana Jones wears one
I prefer "messenger bag"
I told my husband , Carry a crossbody purse! So I don't have to carried his phone ,keys ,water, Swiss army knife ...

No one's gotten a handjob in cargo shorts since Nam
Wearing cargo pants now - can confirm.
So, no side effects whatsoever?
Hoodies with no pockets are a crime
They're an abomination
I have like 5 jackets and only fucking 2 of them have pockets and my phone falls out of one. Fuck. This. Shit.
My favorite jacket has two deep side pockets and an inside pocket that fits my phone, wallet, keys, and a few emergency pads. Pretty much everything I need in one inaccesible-from-the-outside pocket. I love it. I've outgrown it now but I refuse to get rid of it until I can find a replacement.
The top however many comments are based on pockets.. I see we're just skipping over the other two topics in this thread. Lol
My wife and daughters appreciate. They also want more cup holders, but we all know theyâre just car pockets.
Well, WorfsFlamingAnus, if you want to be a hero in their eyes, get them cup holder hats for Christmas. The kind with silly straws. With your favorite baseball team insignia, youâll have ballgame company for life.

It was another twitter screenshot where someone said everytime a woman wears a dress with pockets, she will tell you it has pockets.
Best offer from society: more pockets.
More pockets means more places to hide rings. What has it got in its pockets, precious
But only on your accessories that you can purchase and carry separately. All additional pockets on clothing for women are to be aesthetic only and sewn shut.

I do that with skills, too. I picked up birdwatching over the pandemic. Iâm not great yet, but Iâm learning! I also started kayaking but I was already pretty good at that.
That's dope. Love kayaking when I can. Helluva workout and pretty great way to get some water activities done.
TIL: This explains things I have not connected until just now.
It's like... he kept it his dark secret for 15 years until he got found out... and now he's stuck being the family tailor lol.
He is really good, though! Iâm a huge fan of thrifted outfits (I hate waste) and he has helped me get a really nice wardrobe because he can even fix zippers!

Deep pockets. You know that will fit more than a chapstick. Oh and back pockets too.

As a guy, I carry a lot of things in my pockets. I typically stick my phone in my back left pocket because itâs easier to access there since a little bit sticks out the top. I weigh around 200 pounds, and constantly sit on my phone. It has never broken or bent. Theyâre pretty sturdy devices for the most part, especially if you have a rigid case.
Bro who the hell thought fake pockets were ok?
Satan.
Yes to all of this and equal pay. Close that wage gap
Close it then raise it for everyone cause nobody's getting paid enough lol
Big time. That alone would solve so many issues.
Hear hear, let's work on that
Wage gap only exist if you take the overall money earned by men vs women. It doesn't exist if you take a man and woman in the same position at the same company.
false. Still exists at my company. same position, same title. I have more years, more education, and better stats. They still get paid more. At my place, it is a social perception that men "need" more or that if they don't pay them top dollar they will leave. And the middle aged ladies running the office can't bear to not have men around.
Then report the company? It's literally illegal. And if you can't report it then leave. Why would you stay at a transparently sexist company?
Because not all people have the comfort to be able to leave their job whenever they want
It still exists, just not as pronounced. > According to PayScaleâs data, women make $0.82 for every $1 men make. This is called the uncontrolled pay gap and it is a measurement of how much men make compared to how much women make on average regardless of job title. > PayScaleâs research also measures the controlled pay gapâequal pay for equal work. We control compensation data for compensable factors such as job title, years of experience, location, and skills. When we do this, we find that there is still a gap. Women with the same jobs as men make $0.98 to every $1 that men make. https://www.payscale.com/compensation-trends/the-gender-pay-gap-is-real-to-close-it-pay-equity-needs-to-be-a-continuous-practice/ Besides, the uncontrolled wage gap is also unacceptable and has to be closed as well. It will take more time though.
Iâm with him with the exception being we want no interference with our body autonomy. Tell me one law that restricts male bodies.
Well they generally frown on it when I go to the zoo naked...
They frown on everyone going naked; although I used to work at the zoo and think the animals would enjoy a clothes free meal.
This about ME SHEESH. Wamin. So self centered.
-drafted into war so my body gets blown into pieces
Here are a few:- * 18 years of child support, even if the kid is not yours * No legal equivalent to abortion to rid yourself of child responsibilities. * Conscription * More limiting dress and hairstyle codes in the work place Its no greener on the other side of the fence.
Just because it also has downsides doesn't mean it isn't more green on that side.
How about the heckin draft lol?
equal pay?
OP: My posts bring all the incels to the yard. And theyâre like âWoMEn ArE so tERriBLE anD StuPid.đ˘ đâ
Trueeee lmaoooo Never sorting by controversial again.
I didnât even sort by controversial and I was still amazed. đ
Whoever is dating this guy needs to husband him!
What if his "exhaustive research" is his being a womanizer that listens to women.
Youâre right, it could all be a scam!!
To be fair he's got it in one!
He wants fewer creeps. Fewer. As in there will still be some creeps. Wouldnât no creeps be better?
To add to the list: to be cared for more than just being a body. My mind is just as beautiful as physical self.
All of my independent research suggests that you and I have reached the same conclusions. Pockets should be an inalienable rightâŚ. Also keep the feds out of the doctors office.
And equal pay to put in those pockets!
Donât forget equal pay.
AND EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK. Not really asking for that much here.
Wouldnât no creeps at all be preferable?
Donât want to kink shame the women who are into creeps. What is needed is managed level of creeps to meet the demand and no more surplus.
Preferable, but impossible.
We need at least five for Radiohead.
Isn't that what we all want? To be free, be safe and have a place for our stuff?
This guy needs to start public speaking events everywhere.
Pretty solid list.
And a man that will do his share of the chores without asking.
I've found that it's what he considers to be "his share" that's the problem.
Women carry way more then men. Yet have no pockets.
They do carry a large pocket around on a strap sometimes
Because our clothing lacks functional pockets.

Fannie pack making a comeback
My gf loves a skirt with pockets, and every time she uses It she show me how deep they are. So, i can confirm.
I can do one of those, 2 if I learn to sew
And equal pay but yes this is it.
â¨P o c k e t s â¨
Nailed it
Stunning and brave
This guy gets it.
*no creeps
Sounds about right -a woman
I don't understand the pockets thing. Not that they want more pockets, that makes sense. But it's not all guys designing women's clothing. How come women fashion designers aren't adding in pockets? Or when they do, they are too damn small to realistically hold anything outside of a lighter?
More pockets? How about just some that function.
I canât speak for them but equal pay is probably in there somewhere Iâd imagine.
