Clothes shopping. Men get cotton sleep pants with pockets, women get polyester and pocketless. Why though.

@Cassandra
We don't have cotton pj's because most of us aren't paid as much as men therefore can't afford it and manufacturers know this so they offer mostly the awful synethic ones.

@TrueNorthSpice @Cassandra Also, the discomfort of women has never been of any concern to the people who make decisions about . . . anything, really.

I used to sew, but it's not possible anymore.

@TrueNorthSpice Sorry to hear that! Sewing gives me a lot of joy, and is great work for my brain, while providing me with clothing that is just my style.

@EllenInEdmonton
I hear you. 50 + years I sewed my children's clothing, mine, hand quilting, and making household items, and when times were tough, as a part-time second job, I worked for a tailor.

I suppose I wore out my finger joints 🤷‍♀️

( of course, the embroidery and knitting didn't help either.)

@TrueNorthSpice well, at least you made good use of those finger joints!
