Fake pockets in women’s slacks are the pantriarchy. Thank you.

I've never understood this.

I do believe you, mind you... but I don't understand.

@bmalsuj because it "ruins the line of the outfit" a.k.a. it's more important that the male gaze not be interrupted by the outline of a cellphone in a pocket than it is that a woman actually has a place to put her cellphone

Appreciate the explanation as I wasn't tracking myself. I have a lot more respect and interest in individuals (both male and female) who dress functionally - in other words, KEEP THE POCKETS. They are extremely useful. :)

@klaasl so you lack respect for people who choose more femme presentation?

@Tattie @klaasl @bmalsuj @OhNoSheTwitnt Is it more "femme" to be frivolous? Sheesh.

@NycAuntie @klaasl I would say that describing someone's outfit as "frivolous" is almost always rooted in femmephobia
