On: Woman's Pockets Are Inferior

[lesuorac]

> Literally every time this has come up in conversation I've heard women complain that there aren't any options.

I've looked nowhere and I can't find it!

Literally every few years some company comes out claiming they'll make woman's pants with pockets.

I can indeed find a lot of older articles mentioning this problem:

2019: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/570469/finally-womens-je...

2021: https://yourstory.com/herstory/2021/10/functional-pockets-wo...

A lot of these brands are still alive as well from what i can see:

One brand went bankrupt due to covid however:

I bought a phone without a 3.5mm jack once because I didn't think to check. I may have to buy one again when my Pixel dies due to lack of options.

Clearly I don't care about 3.5mm jacks /s

Sure, try to buy anything from Pairess (2019) [1]. It turns out functional woman's clothes isn't a good enough business to last 4 years.

Advanced electronics have a very high barrier to entry, and are unsuitable as an analogy to the clothing business.
