Hell yes, I'm all for it. It's insanity that we don't have wage parity at this point
Polar bears? ... I seem to remember something about bears being preferred over men.
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.
There is often a difference between “consumer wants” and “we will not profit enough to bother”
The only data I could find suggests women do want pockets, particularly in pants.

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 lack of pockets is symbolic of sexism.. it's not about packing them full of things.
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.

A woman who has everything she wants.
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.
definitely possums. Not a woman, but I fucking love possums
Am woman. Love the little guys so much.
opossums@lemmy.world is filled with them 🥹
(I don't know how to properly link a Lemmy community so I hope that did it...)
Also TIL the difference between Opossum and Possum, the white ones who play dead are from North America, while the brown sugar-glider looking friends only live in Australia, New Zealand, and China. They're not the same at all, and in fact Possums are too friendly, don't play dead, and will literally walk up to people.
Australian possums are monsters in New Zealand who even the biggest tree hugger there doesn’t shed too many tears over them being disposed of.
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.
Panzerfausts! =D
Phosphorus?
Pussies?
Pizzas.
Polyps?
Pocketknives.
