Women are supposed to be objects to admire, and aren't allowed to have functional clothing as a result. Didn't you know that?

Also, purse sales would suffer.

Women's pants should have cargo pockets big enough to fit any grandmother's purse. If some of my pants pockets can go up to my elbows (not even exaggerating, it's an embarrassing pain to fish my keys out of those pockets), then women should be able to lose their wristwatch in a cavernous pocket.

Anecdote: Sometimes my wife carries a pair of ankle-high socks in her purse, in case we're gonna have to take our shoes off or whatever. This sometimes requires reorganizing her bag. When she's told me to take an extra pair of socks, of which I only have knee-high compression socks, I just match a pair, fold them, and stick them in one of my four available pockets on any of my pants. I do not have a single set of pants incapable of holding a week's worth of knee-high compression socks.

Oh, I absolutely agree with you. I was being super sarcastic with my above comment. Foolish cultural preconceptions hinder us all. Edit to add that cargo pants with side pockets are the bomb.

You know what? That's my fault. What started off as a humorous offhanded comment accidentally turned into a rant. Sorry to make you feel like I was talking at you when I was actually yelling at clouds.

No worries, I understand the source of the rant, my sarcasm came from the same vein. Besides, we need to keep those clouds in check!
