Women Want Pockets And We Want Them Now

This shit is political.

Here's a secret: Women like pockets.

We fucking love pockets!

So why, WHHYYYYYY is it the case that most women's clothes don't have any effing pockets?

Could it, perchance, be part of a centuries-old, patriarchal conspiracy?

I am CONSTANTLY AMAZED by men who don't know that the history of pockets in women's clothing is, & has always been,… https://t.co/dP1YJnWXQv

Could it?

Historically, men were afraid women might hide something incendiary or dangerous in their pockets. Like pistols or revolutionary pamphlets.

COULD IT?

I shit you not, women don't have pockets in their clothes because men were terrified we'd be hiding a weapon or reading material in there.

But let's be generous. Maybe pocketless clothing is just an oversight...

Maybe fashion designers just think we prefer clean lines and no bulky bits...

Maybe they honestly think we love our handbags so much we don't need pockets.

God forbid we turn our backs on our handbags!

But whatever the reason, enough is enough. It's time to give women the pockets we deserve!

So we can fill them up with all our crap!

And, no, we don't want your goddamn fake pockets. Those things are fucking insult.

why do?? clothing companies?? give us?? fake pockets?? i thought i had ninja zippers. THANKS FOR THE DISAPPOINTMENT

A piss-take of the highest order.

It's time, dear shops, to give women real pockets, just like men get, so we can smuggle our tampons or guns or radical literature or whatever the hell we like.

GIVE US SOME FUCKING POCKETS! BIG ONES! DEEP ONES! AND GIVE US THEM NOW!
