The Volatile MermaidFake pockets in women’s slacks are the pantriarchy. Thank you.
Conor Mahood@OhNoSheTwitnt I know this is a joke but it bums me out that fake pockets exist. My girlfriend regularly stares at me and shakes her head sadly in public when I'm "showing off" by putting stuff in my pockets.
♪ Octavia con Amore ♬@ConorMahood @OhNoSheTwitnt As someone who formerly wore waistcoats, those fake pockets were the BANE of me (and not just the real pockets that were lightly stitched shut for shipping, either).
My favourite waistcoat that I basically wore for 5 years straight had two pockets plus an outside breast pocket, but gods, finding it among the sea of fake pockets was a journey.

Flaming June@OhNoSheTwitnt Not only do they deny us real pockets, but they taunt us.
Jill Minor@OhNoSheTwitnt I am wearing slacks like that now and also a cardigan with no structure and no pockets and having to carry my phone in my hand. Grrrrrrr
DarryB@OhNoSheTwitnt But it only means that Men have to carry Women's stuff. Seems like a Matriarchal false flag operation to me.
@DarryB @OhNoSheTwitnt
I cannot believe I am doing this, but...yes. The idea is that men are supposed to carry stuff. Also, superior officers uniforms used to have false pockets for the same reason. The officer's ordonnance was the one carrying stuff.

Riley S. Faelan@OhNoSheTwitnt: Or by old spelling, pãtriarchy.
Callie Laren@OhNoSheTwitnt I have a freakin HOODIE with no pockets. WTF is up with that?
At least my purse is cute.
FolksVelo@OhNoSheTwitnt our daughter, Pina, has been complaining about this since she was two. Now she's six and is designing and making her own clothes with HUGE pockets ...she also like using seaweed and found feathers for fashion
@FolksVelo omg I love her
Ludibriumventis@OhNoSheTwitnt This makes me so angry that I almost exclusively wear high-end scrubs pants in defiance. SO MANY USEFULL POCKETS!!
I'm also working on figuring out how to retroactively add pockets to my skirts...

@OhNoSheTwitnt It is the most infuriating thing! *Almost* worse is when there is a pocket but it's sewn shut. Like... what???
Women's-pockets-haters should watch this fabulous video essay about them by the lovely Abby Cox
Flappers, Y2K, & Capitalism are Why Women "Don't" Have Pockets 🙃🙃🙃
Roanna Flowers (Petty Davis)@OhNoSheTwitnt I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns.
Bob Jamieson@OhNoSheTwitnt 👏 👏 👏 👏 🤣
D's lack of faith in humanity@OhNoSheTwitnt no pockets is bad enough - fake pockets is adding insult to injury.
Bella Ciao appreciator@OhNoSheTwitnt what is even the point of that the whole point of pockets is convenience not really style.
Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPEBut women buy them. Or they wouldn't exist.
(NB fake pockets in men's clothing are, although rarer, not *completely* unknown.)
Pete@TimWardCam @OhNoSheTwitnt
And then they curse the treacherous retailers when they discover the fraud. And maybe they take them back, or maybe they don't, it was so hard to find trousers that fit anyway, and retailers make returns a hassle. But getting fooled isn't a revealed preference.
I have never ONCE had an item of clothing that appeared to have pockets but did not. My clothes don't lie to me like women's clothes do. That's the patriarchy of pockets.
Going T. Maine@OhNoSheTwitnt the pocketarchy
Glenn Fleishman@OhNoSheTwitnt You might enjoy this podcast episode: 7 women + me, with me shutting up while they talked about trousers. https://www.theincomparable.com/pants/45/
Pants in the Pants in the Boot (Pants in the Boot 45)
Glenn takes a seat while panelists discuss literal American-style pants and trousers around the world that are designed for people who identify as women—and the many styles that fail to fit many bodies! Also: missing pockets—the agents of the patriarchy never rest.
Galactic Menace@OhNoSheTwitnt it’s handbag industry that love is not having pockets, I only buy dresses with pockets 💪🏻 I hate handbags as it is 🤣
Prof Prachi Srivastava@OhNoSheTwitnt Also, no pockets in skirts or dresses.

Daisy Doo & TuxieGirl Betty@OhNoSheTwitnt Yes they are!

Tiesa Meskis@OhNoSheTwitnt those are the worst! I had one pair that had real pockets but they sewed over the opening, like a big ole taunt. Good thing I have a seam ripper and know how to use it 😜
