I can get away with wearing mens tops and shoes, but my hips are too fabulous for mens pants to look good on me. So I gotta settle for women’s pants.

So I’m currently doing field work for Ecology so I need to get PRACTICAL WORK PANTS WITH LOTS OF POCKETS.

Meanwhile women’s clothing shops are like “UwU, work clothes for women? You mean these business pants with no pockets?” There are no other kinds of workwear for women IN THE WORKWEAR SECTION.

No motherfucker I mean cargo pants with all the pockets and belt loops. I’m going out in the bush. I need pockets for extra batteries and I need belt loops to hook a satellite GPS to. Fuck.

Look at this sexist bullshit. Here is the women’s workwear section:

Here is the men’s workwear section, same store:

Apparently all women work in offices and all men work physical labour jobs and fuck you if you deviate from your assigned role in life.

FUCK GENDER ROLES AAAAA IT’S 2024 AND THEY’RE STILL DOING THE FUCKING NO POCKETS THING bird-screm-2

EDIT: Thank you comrades for all the suggestions on where to shop. Care-Comrade

    I don’t fucking get it. I have a 2yo and a 6yo and somewhere we have a pair of 6-12m pants leftover from the last clothes purge that have pockets bigger than what my pants have and I’m a dude. My 6yo has a couple pairs of sweats since he doesn’t like jeans for texture reasons but the sweats have big ass pockets, and here’s the kicker, the draw strings? Those are fake. Just stitched in to look like they are functional.

    Women’s clothing tho? Absolutely atrocious execution. I don’t believe in a lot of conspiracies but the ones about fake pockets to sell more purses is one of them. There is no fucking reason why women’s pants shouldn’t have functional pockets. Fuck consumerism and fuck capitalism. Give the girls pockets!
