Reply to comment by tempodad in Baby clothes have pockets but babies have zero need for pockets. Meanwhile women's clothing often lacks pockets when women desperately need them. by HalfLawKiss

How do you think this happened? One day all pants producers collectively said no pockets? No. It was done progressively, just like phones with no exchangeable battery, and now no charger. One company does it, backlash is not sufficient to harm sales, the practice gets normalized and other companies copy it

There is nothing that can be done now, but people could have acted when it was time if they cared enough

Yes but they’re never going to make women’s pockets with jeans because of the purse industry. It profits way too much off of women not having pockets. And right now there is no big brand that has made that decision to add pockets so there’s no options. And you can’t just make your own company from nothing.

Yeah, some practices are almost irreversible once normalized.
