You say that as if you think patriarchy is only perpetuated and enforced by men

I know that it’s not. But men can’t fix the part that’s perpetuated and enforced by women.
So fix the parts that you can.
That’s a good place to start… if you’re not just having some ‘fun’, by pointing fingers and saying “not my problem!”, that is.

That’s depressing

I buy most of my clothes at op shops (thrift stores). If I could afford to buy multiples of wondrous pocket filled clothing I would, but I can’t.

You know how on Amazon you can ask questions about the product? Every skirt I looked at that I liked I’d scroll down and every time there was “Does this skirt have pockets?”

maybe that was confusing the search engine.

It’s Amazon. The search engines are confused by default. Oh, you wanted a green article of clothing? Here, let me show you these that are every color except green …

I was also looking for a “portrait collar dress”. The search gave me turtlenecks.

Well, if nothing else on this fine evening of the first presidential debate, I now know what a “portrait collar dress” is. And, that is why BBS rules.

I wanted this one, but I didn’t want to pay $130 for it and I’m not entirely sure I fit in Lane Bryant; I’m a 10-12 so the top end of “regular” sizes and not quite “plus”. So I went looking for a cheaper version. Ironically, every actual dress like that I found cost more.

Firstly, that’s a lovely dress. And the hat and sunglasses are now a must. Now I’m creating a narrative where you go all Joan Collins into a board room with that outfit and take them all to task. (Sorry, my imagination runs away at times.) Not to go too far off topic here (although this is a thread about pockets for christ’s sake), but the sizing differentials in women’s clothing is exhausting. I’m anywhere from an 10 to a 14, depending. I shop for my son or husband, and it’s a 30- or 36-inch waist with respective lengths.

It’s sold out now I see. Also pretty sure it didn’t have any pockets.

You could stash a fair bit behind the lapels on that though.

Also compatible with the “using my bra as a pocket” tactic.

Well, a tweed one for @japhroaig, obviously.

Yeah, but those only come in black. We’ve been promised a future of people swathed in silver. Not sure why the color is so specific, but possibly because you can accessorize with any other color?
