Pockets on Women's Clothes Matter More Than You Think | NBC Left Field

Women’s pants, dresses, and clothing in general often don’t have pockets, or have fake pockets, and the history, gender role implications, and controversy surrounding this detail can be much more than just a minor irritation. Maybe you think about it every time you dig for something at the bottom of a handbag or hide a tampon in your bra. Maybe you’ve never thought about it at all. But there’s undoubtedly more (often very funny) online chatter about pockets on women’s pants and dresses than ever before.
