Jokes About Women Wanting Pockets In Their Clothing, Except No One Is Joking

Nothing is more infuriating than discovering the pockets on those dress pants you just bought are so shallow they can't even fit your house keys in them, or even worse, that they're fake and they're actually sewn shut.

Early 2000s Mel Gibson spent his life figuring out what women want, but it was in front of him all along: they want functioning pockets in their clothing. This is arguably one of the most simple things women have ever asked from the world, and yet we're unable to deliver it to them.

That's the real reason behind not giving women the pockets they deserve. Pockets would give us too much power. We'd be able to hold our car keys and our phone without needing a purse, and without having to carry a giant purse around we'd have our hands free for world domination.

Babies do not need pockets. Babies have not earned pockets. If anyone deserves pockets it is the fully grown women who have given those babies literal life and have to take care of those babies for the next 18+ years.

If you're not going to design clothing with pockets, you can't be upset with us for always hauling around giant purchases or carrying 12 random items with us at any time because we have no other choice. We can't leave home without our wallet, phone, keys, lip balm, snacks, or our dog.

If a dress or skirt has pockets, women are automatically at least 50% more likely to purchase it, regardless of if it's cute or not. You better convince yourself you love it because it costs $200 and you only have one shirt that will really go with it, but it has pockets.
