The design of women's v. men's pockets: https://pudding.cool/2018/08/pockets/

My daughter inherited a pair of my cargo pants a while ago and spent a good hour yelling HOW DO YOU HAVE SO MANY POCKETS, THIS IS AMAZING, THE POCKETS EVEN HAVE POCKETS IN THEM AND MY HANDS FIT ALL THE WAY INTO _THOSE POCKETS_

Women's Pockets are Inferior.

If you wear women's clothes, you already know this. But now we've got the data to show it.

@mhoye The fact that women's clothing has insufficient pocket space is not a new idea... I've been hearing about it occasionally for decades. There have been a few attempts to capitalize on this by producing a line of clothing for women with generous pocket sizes. So why haven't any of those attempts been huge economic successes?

It's not intended as a skeptical question... I genuinely want to know the answer!

@mcherm my uneducated guess is "poor marketing" 'cause I've no memory of seeing ads or whatnot for women's clothes with real pockets.

When I win a billion dollars, I want to fund a clothing line for women called "Pockets."
