A woman who has everything she wants.Image of a woman in a risqué cosplay outfit that consists of military style belts with lots of pockets but no actual clothes (Nudist Beach Nonon).

Polar bears? ... I seem to remember something about bears being preferred over men.

I definitely want pockets. I’ve had a lot of luck with dresses and baggy work pants. The baggy jeans style has also made pockets easier to find. I feel like having to outsource my storage to a bag I carry is a liability.

Particle Projection Cannons?

And an AWS-8Q to mount them on. Just watch your heat.

Ah the Awesome. It is indeed pretty awesome.

Though I'm a Marauder man personally.

Yes the marauder in all its inceptions is a wonderful machine. I'm planning an all marauder lance for my current playthrough of BTA3062. Marauder II, Nightstar, Marauder IIC, and a MAD-5M (just for nostalgia). All with clan tech

So in the HBS Battletech, my ride of choice is a MAD-3R with 2x + LgLas, ++UAC2 and 2x ++MdLas. Double heatsinks all around and maxed out frontal armor. Combine that with Called Shot Mastery and you can CT one shot most opponents.

There are at least 2 to 3 things that all girls want starting with p and ending with s.

I remember reading a comment saying that women don't actually want pockets. The manufacturers and retailers have data on this.

What's happening is the women who do want them are in online bubbles that give them the impression that most women want pockets.

It's like how most gamers don't give a shit about DRM, so those of us who know better are stuck with it anyway.

My SIL doesn't want pockets, but she is wealthy and into style. I think some of the women who don't want pockets are into style and/or looking wealthy enough to not need pockets.

Women who are pragmatic want pockets.

I've been ripping open pockets and sewing more fabric onto them making them big.

The only data I could find suggests women do want pockets, particularly in pants.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It suggests that young women from the UK want pockets, yes.

I became aware of this once in the office where a woman brought up the fact that guys were lucky to have functional pockets. Most pockets on womans clothing are either fake or are sewn shut and for looks.

I asked why? And she explained it ruins the "Pants Chi". I guess it gets in the way of showing off the figure somehow.

There is often a difference between “consumer wants” and “we will not profit enough to bother”

For too long, feminists have focused on unimportant issues like voting rights, equal pay, and the ability to hold credit cards without a male cosigner. This is the only demand that truly matters for gender equality. If women get pockets, then the rest will follow.

I was wondering why my GF (now wife) often gave me stuff like keys to carry when she didn't have her purse with me, since her pants seemed to have pockets. However, they were actually fake pockets. Just a nice looking design but they couldn't actually be opened

If you own a sewing machine I suggest if any of those clothes have mini pockets ripping the seams and adding fabric to make a big pocket. Help her take back her power!

One of classmates always had deep pockets. One time I joked how deep and she pulled out an umbrella. I wished I asked the brand. I was too confused from what seemed like some sort of Vegas illusion.
