Women never got the option to buy pants with pockets. It was decided for us and now it’s intentional to prop up the purse industry, one of the most profitable items in fashion.

Check my other comment, pants with pockets are widely available.

I saw your comment. You’re wrong.

No, they are available online. That’s not the same thing. Buying clothes online is a gamble especially in women’s clothing where the sizing is all over the place and the numbers are arbitrary.

I promise those retailers do not carry pants with real pockets in physical stores. I have, on multiple occasions, bought clothing in the men’s dept after checking all the available options in the women’s dept.
