Pockets

I recently came across a fascinating discussion

On how lack of pockets in women’s clothing is a form of discrimination

*

Women’s clothes have never had functional pockets in place

Because of this limitations women face

In carrying their belongings in public, they need to carry

Handbags as an additional accessory

Handbags limit movement, can be stolen or lost

Not to mention that they come at an additional cost..

*

These archaic fashion rules probably worked adequately

In the Victorian era, for ladies of the aristocracy

Who did not travel anywhere alone

Who did not need to carry cash, ID or phones

These days, all women carry mobile phones, cash and cards

So why do we not outdated fashion norms discard?

*

It appears some progressive designers have taken note of this need

They are designing women’s clothing with adequately sized pockets, indeed

Why should I risk losing my belongings in a crowded space

Just because my stuff in my pockets I cannot place..

Fashion should be as functional for women as it is designed to be

For men- in all my clothes, sturdy pockets I want to see!
