Women, you can wear men's underwear, it's legal!

Use the front pouch as a bun warmer. You're welcome.

Most people’s buns are in back

[–] GraniteM 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wait, when you say bun warmer, how do you mean that?

Put a piece of bread down there for safe keeping and your body heat will keep it warm!

In an era where women have been grappling with the pocket predicament for years, Hanes seems to have missed the memo. The company’s decision to provide men with the luxury of pockets in even more male clothing has left women pondering the inequality of men having access to cargo shorts while most of women’s clothing has no pockets at all.

Literally nobody is going to stop you from trying on and buying cargo pants. You've always had access to cargo pants. You just need to buy what you want, and not what society deems appropriate.

Well what if I want relatively cute clothes that also just so happen to have usable pockets?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (2 children)

They make them, it’s just each company that focuses on making them ends up going under, with a new one eventually taking their place, because not enough people are buying these designs.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I find more and more in my life that decisions made by very opinionated "designers" often dominate much more than most people realize, and I honestly think that's a fairly big reason behind why a lot of name brand stores skimp on the pockets. God forbid someone be seen wearing their Women's premium shorts with—gasp—a phone bulge?

It's kind of one of those things where convention follows convention for convention's sake, and likewise with innovations where it's safe for the bottom line. It's really hard to start a fashion brand; it's a really, really oversaturated market. The issue is that if a company makes the "we have pockets!" its whole shtick, that that's a very specific sticking point and doesn't necessarily mean what they make is good.

I also don't think I need to mention the side benefit to clothing brands that less pocket space makes handbags a de-facto requirement and thus another thing to be sold. Again, of course you can buy whichever clothes of which men's will have pockets abound, but like, there's a certain base level of wanting something fashionable that I think is reasonable, and that most men's clothing fails to achieve even for their target gender.

Men's clothing sucks ass. Walk into H&M, there's 500 m² of women's clothing for literally everything you can imagine, then there's a little corner with: jeans (blue), jeans (dark blue), jeans (light blue), t-shirt (gray), t-shirt (dark gray), suit (black).

Then the neckbeards on Lemmy who exclusively wear the aforementioned fashion graveyard are like "just buy women's clothing", completely missing the fact that the average man does not even fit in most women's clothes. And even if he does, it'll probably be with a super saggy waistline and chest area (or saggy everything because most clothes assume tall=fat).

Go buy them? They do exist.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

I do?

I buy cute clothes with pockets when I can, but they can be hard to find in person especially for more form fitting wear that I kind of need to be able to try on to know whether it looks good on my figure.

Some men's skinny jeans suffice and do have bigger pockets, but often the overall piece shape/cut pattern is often just a bit off and, to be blunt, makes my behind look flat.

I do also have a couple pairs of baggy men's jeans; my pair of men's Ariats are arguably my favorite because they're comfy but still well-decorated/ornamented.

Men's clothing doesn't always fit women's shapes.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Cargo pants have no shape?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Mens clothing don't always fit men either that's why we have belts

But now you can wear this pocketed briefs under your dress!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (7 children)

I know this doesn't really solve the overall problem, but on Etsy you can find pocket belts. Essentially adding a cool looking pocket to your outfit.

That sounds kinda cool actually, for being around the house.

I do often feel like I could use pockets when I'm only wearing underwear

[–] AA5B 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

This is a real need. It’s so annoying having to carry your phone by hand when you’re going from one room to another

[–] CosmicTurtle 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I tuck mine between the waistband and my body.

The picture is actually workout shorts with a liner pocket for your phone which I am legally wearing as I type this.

[–] Stoney_Logica1 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What do you illegally wear?

[–] KuroiKaze 11 points 7 months ago

Lol, OSHA says it's dangerous materials, handle with caution

[–] Shou 25 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I don't get this bs response. Too often have I seen my female friends buy terrible clothing. Yes women's clothing fucking sucks, but some women manage to find even worse articles than the regular flimsy thin fabric that still manages to feel tight even when it is too big for you. Extra points for poor insulation and confusing parts. They enable that impractical pocketless shit.

I found clothes that better accomodate my wide ass in the men's section, then I ever have in the woman's section. I found the best swimming top, in the sports bra section as the swimming gear was just the same flimsy design. Who in their right minds would buy a top marketed for surfing, when the thing is only held together by a weak elastic rope made from the same fabric? You fall off once and your top disappears from existance.

I found that clothing in the woman's section is uncomfortable, even when it's too big for me. At least in the men's, I find clothes that are comfortable, even if it looks bad on me. I'm done with looking good.

Feeling comfy will make you look good

Am I missing a part of the joke or are there a lot of people here who don't understand Tattletale is a satire site?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This post is the first I've heard of 'em.

[–] Duamerthrax 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's the first time I have as well, but check the other articles on the site. Also, this lemmy channel's description.

Crash testing in vehicles are done based on the male physiology. Women are more likely to die in a crash because of this.

One 2019 study published in the journal Traffic Injury Prevention found that women are 73% more likely to be seriously injured in a crash compared to men.

What women underwear would be large enough to have a pocket? Most are dinky small even if the wearer isn't.

Anyone else picturing Lara Croft, with the short shorts and form fitting t-shirts but huge holsters and garters?

My partner filled with umbrage,/ Enlightened me with a warning./ If she sees one on my visage,/ Shred the pockets would she, in the morning,/ With tiny scissors she has around the house./ I’ve placed an order, she does not know, the poor thing. / WE SHALL SEE how ends this game of cat and spouse./

[–] RGB3x3 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I own these, they're Fabletics, not Hanes.
