Cue men telling us that it’s our fault because we don’t have pockets because we only buy pants with no pockets.

I thought this was mostly a joke, but there really are men in the comments telling us to just buy men's pants 🙄
Yeah, I love when men tell me about how they know women’s clothing better than us. :)
Not all men are neoliberals
You can't buy those because the patriarchy is preventing them. First you need female investors, managers and designers to make them.

I was in Target today so I wandered over and put my hand in two pairs of every style of women’s jeans. I tried two pairs in case one pair was poorly manufactured.
The furthest I could fit my hand was to the part where my thumb connects to the rest of my hand. That was in _one pair _not both from the same style. They were Levi’s 501 jeans.
Every other pair of jeans that I tried only went to my knuckles.
I also tried a couple of Levi 511 in the men’s section. They were shallower than I expected. They only went just past the bony part of my wrist.
I work in a place that requires everyone entering to pull out their pockets for a few years.
Still amazed at the tiny front pockets most women have. Recently I've been seeing pants where the front pocket is completely fake.
As an aside, some garments (especially fancy ones) have pockets that are sewn shut so that they stay flat in transport and lay perfectly on a mannequin, but with thin thread and loose stitches so that it's easy to pull them out with just a few quick snips. Same with the back vent on long coats. It would be difficult to pack and transport them neatly and non destructively (with flappy bits all over the pace and pockets that could get stuck on machinery) but the stitches are weak and meant to be removed by the end consumer just the same as the tags are meant to be removed. Although I did have a coworker who wore fancy sneakers with the tag still on which was an absolutely mystifying thing to see on multiple levels at a healthcare job, but apparently that's some kind of sneaker culture thing (and while they were a lovely person they did eventually decide that healthcare was not their jam).

I know a few women who would rather have Pokémon. Amirite, chat? /s
Yeah, just use your pet space deity to store all your things in hyperspace!
The person who manages to design discreet detachable pockets will be a millionaire.
What about a detachable pocket that's a fashion accessory, and you hang it from a strap over your shoulder?
It used to be this way. When women were only "allowed" to wear dresses, often they carried a pocket pouch on the inside of the skirt. It went on like a belt under the skirt.
I wear a phone holder on my belt. There are arm bands, fanny packs, flat stretchy belt-adjacent things. Products exist. We just haven't achieved critical mass of women not interested in carrying purses who are interested in spending the extra shopping effort to find pants or cardigans or button up shirts with near-waist-level pockets (I am discounting boob pockets here).
I never see anyone mention this but, from my experience at least, pockets in women's clothing tends to be uncomfortable for laying on one's side.
I like to have the option of having or not having pockets, like with most legging brands.
