I assume experience from living as the wrong gender. Namely, pockets.

I never could figure out why women's clothing doesn't come with functional pockets. I haven't seen a pair of women's pants yet that had pockets that weren't completely useless.

i think it's kind of a viscous cycle type thing: women buy pocketless clothing because that's all the clothing companies make to sell them, while the companies keep making pocketless clothing because women keep buying it.

As for the primary cause that started it rolling, I would guess that pockets (with things in them) would break up the outline of that perfect curvy (but not too curvy) figure that you are, naturally, starving yourself to acquire/maintain just like the media and social expectations tell you to. :roll: :-P

The guys I know tend to have backpacks or messenger bags, they need to carry stuff too.
Pockets for phone keys and wallet, okay, I'd buy it for what Marten has. All that for Claire and extra hair ties, her hairbrush, and bottle of ativan. Her glasses case and cleaning cloth. (in the case or on your face) Mascera? Those are thick dark lashes for a redhead. Her front pockets are flat so how much stuff has she been sitting on?

I'm a girl and I carry in my pockets four items: wallet, keys, change purse (with lipstick) and cell phone. Purses collect junk.

That's the thing. Maybe I just don't know the right people or something, but most of the women I know travel pretty light most of the time. On the guy side of the equation... yeah, messenger bags are helpful. Or if I'm going somewhere with my camera bag, the extra stuff just gets tossed in there.

Kinda figured that. Even the "cargo pants" I've seen for women were not only cut wrong*, but also had the useless pockets.
*i.e., not loose/baggy enough to be practical/comfortable with anything larger than a bus pass in the cargo pockets. Also happens with some men's cargo pants, much to my frustration
Is it cold in here?:
Marten's sensitivity to what's going on is helping her relax. Sometimes you can clear the air when you hear the Claire.

Well, a girl I've spent quite a lot of time with over the last few weeks doesn't really give damns about that and just wears men's cargo pants. But she also wears a fanny pack all the time, so I guess she's out of damns to give and just likes practical things. She's still one of the most adorable people I know.
Somehow I love it when people put practicalness over style.
