Believe it or not, this is (I shit you not) part of a wider conspiracy to sell more purses.

If that were true, why aren't men also victims?

Purses are seen too much as gay, its too uphill of a battle. Although the fashion industry has made progress on this front in the form of across the chest bags.

Remember when purses for men were called 'briefcases'?

Men's pockets are for putting expensive wallets and keychains in

So? If Big Pant and Big Purse are really in cahoots, Big Pant would make men's pockets useless as well so that men's purses would be for putting expensive wallets and keychains in. Why would you leave half the population out of your scam, and the better paid half of the population at that?

Hmm, making a good point there 🤔 big purse need to break gender norms or expand into big shoulder/waist pouch so big trousers can make pocket size equitable
