Well, paint me gauche then. I wear not one but 2 belt pouches to keep my EDC stuff in some semblance of organization.

And if you’re looking for further proof that gender-busting is taking over, just check out menswear’s latest #trending move: guys carrying small, cross body leather bags. Or, as we’re electing to call them, Tourist Pouches™. Now, we’re not talking about bucket bags or roomy leather sacks with loop handles. These are barely bigger than wallets and and ideal transport system for your shit during the summer months, when you’ve got less pocket space and want to avoid dreaded pocket bulk. Deem 'em man purses if you want, but with the right gear worn alongside these bags—namely some ultra-rare high-fashion and streetwear—they can look pretty damn cool.

Paterson sung the praises of pockets after the event: "Thinking about adding pockets ahead of time means there’s ample space for snacks for your new husband,
Wait, 79 comments, and no one has asked why her husband can’t carry his own damned snacks?

Perhaps like mine, his wedding tuxedo had no functional pockets either.

I have a dress with pockets, I don’t like it that much, not because it has pockets, that’s the only reason I wear it. I tend not to buy much that doesn’t have pockets. Even then, half of the pockets aren’t big enough. I’m over it.

There is so much more to women’s fashion than what women like… so much more. There’s so much more to what women like in fashion than what they think is pretty or not. There’s so much more to what is “attractive” in women’s fashion than what women want or like.

What’s up with the violence and harassment I got when I tried not to while I was pretty enough to matter.
At this point in my life “ugly feminist” is an insult I consider a valuable compliment as it recognizes the actual efforts I’ve made to improve myself which are also only possible because of the level of material safety I now have. But there was a time when another year of bullying or inability to make enough money to survive was enough to make me walk on razors if I had to. What was up with that now… pray tell? That’s a lot more interest in my own feet than I ever had for myself.
I guess we just like torturing our young? Eh… probably. We sure like watching them shoot each other. Don’t we… all… as a monolith? /s
Piggyback post cause BBS thinks I’m gonna flood the board or something:
Little bit of history for anyone who finds this stuff interesting. Pockets went out in European women’s fashion after the French revolution made the excess of their recent past uncouth for the rich. Rich women couldn’t wear ten pounds of fruit on their head and enough literal gold on their party dress to finance a small army… clothes got streamlined and fabrics got light in a sort of “nod” to the “working women” that of course had a sort of flimsy shallow effect because it’s “pretty” and designers were trying to keep fashionable rich women from actually looking like they might work as a charwoman for a baker. Hence pure white became the height of beauty in fabrics for fashion. With those thin flimsy “like the poor people” dresses that came into fashion there was no place to stick a pocket. Problem solved: Another expensive accessory can be added and so we signal wealth by burdening the hands with little doo-dads and crap. Flash to the Victorian era and you can see this trend expand as an effort to get the old feel of little dolls back into the average rich woman. By this point the more crap stuck to the dress or the woman the better… so long as NONE of it functions. Remember… only recently is there such a thing as “street” fashion. The question isn’t why no pockets then though, it’s why the hell no pockets NOW still.

He’d just wolf them all down at once. Snacks are to reward good behavior.

A nice thing about making your own pockets - they are big enough to hold a phone - just like men’s pockets!!!
For a subset of some children, that could define your ears, if you don’t pay attention. Believe me, I know.

While we’re rightfully protesting both this notable failing of the clothing industry and the general misunderstanding of what women want, let’s also celebrate women’s great problem-solving abilities, as demonstrated by the bride.
There’s no shortage of trouble in this world, that’s for sure—and no shortage of women with the brains and ingenuity* to make things better, in ways both small and world-changing 
*some handy synonyms for ingenuity (from Google)— inventiveness, creativity, imagination, originality, innovation, resourcefulness, enterprise, insight, inspiration, perceptiveness, perception, intuition, flair, finesse, artistry, genius; cleverness, intelligence, brilliance, mastery, talent, skill; sharpness, astuteness, acumen, acuity, sharp-wittedness, quick-wittedness, quickness, shrewdness; sophistication; informal thinking outside the box
