I’ve never seen men’s underpants with pockets. But I’m also not researching the topic extensively, so it’s possible this is a development in undergarment tech that I’m not aware of.
I think she found some sports underwear with a pocket to put a cup in
I have compression shorts that I run in that are the closest thing. Otherwise, if I’m just in underwear, or maybe a pair of gym shorts with no pocket, just throwing the phone in the waistband is sufficient. Just need something better for running.
Yep, just fold your waistband over your phone/wallet/whatever. Instant pocket
I once came across a pair of some kind of synthetic silk man thongs. That had three pockets. One for your junk, another for your phone and the third for your dick and balls.
They were like 90 dollars a pair.
I guess it’s for when you need to be sexy and functional.
One for your junk … and the third for your dick and balls.
It took me a moment to realize you first meant “junk” as in “belongings.”
My first thought was, ”His junk’s so big it needs two pockets? Brag.”
Fucktional
They exist, I’ve seen them at the store. Here’s a picture:
I wonder if it’s talking about the fold in the front to piss through
No, there’s boxers with pockets at the store. Hanes makes some.
I remember watching this TV fashion contest thing quite a long time ago. The host of this contest was this old, wrinkly French lady who was a long time veteran in women’s fashion (apparently).
So in the episode the upstart designers had to create… I think… Three fashionable pants for women. One of the contestants created all three of her pants with pockets, and I think one of them had some excessive pockets.
She was dismissed by the host immediately, before the model even wore any of the pants. Basically the episode was already decided, as that contestant got eliminated on the spot.
The reason? Well, that veteran fashion designer stated something along the lines of; “The female form is the most beautiful and powerful thing we have, and we can’t have pockets ruin that. It’s for women to accessorise with a handbag”.
This stuck with me for all these years, because I was so revulsed when I saw that. What a load of bullshit. A load of pretentious garbage.
Well now I have rage directed at some ancient French lady that I really don’t know what to do with.
She’s probably long dead. But her out-dated idealogies are probably still alive everywhere in fashion.
Not that I think she created that ideal. But she certainly did her part in propagating it.
Fucking scabs, I feel a similar sense of disappointment that I felt talking to women who said they didn’t vote for Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton because their voices were too shrill.
Sure, sure, but women get two prison pockets.
With enough cleavage, women get other places to stash stuff too.
May I request at least that money not be stored in any of these places.
Iv delt with boob sweat, ass sweat and unfortunately blood money in my time as a pizza boy years ago.
Women please don’t hide money in your bra/panties. It’s disgusting.
Men this goes for you too. Foot sweat money after you fish money out of your God forsaken sneaker is not appreciated
Wait, do people actually keep money on their shoes?
But I swear putting my bills in my gooch makes it smell nice!
My Wife is notorious for boob dialing me.
Concealment Crevices
Just buy the pants that have pockets then, problem solved.

All clothes are gender neutral clothes if you’re not a little bitch about it.
Codpieces are not gender neutral. Wearing a codpiece is a statement about your gender, no matter what it is.
Why should women have to buy clothes that fit poorly and are uncomfortable just to get functional pockets?

Our clothes are comfy af
Not if you have curves, unfortunately. You can size up and belt down, but then you’re left with a ton of extra fabric wadded up around your waist and the belt buckle will ride up and pinch.
Fine. Wear cargo pants and rock the Kim Possible look.
Cope and seethe women!
What is up with the influx of misogynistic rhetoric on Lemmy lately? We don’t support that here.
Its tongue in cheeck. Of all the inequalities between women and men this is super low on the list. Have you heard how actual misogynists speak?
“Haha I was just kidding” is precisely what people say when called out on insults like this.
It’s not funny, and yes, it’s exactly the type of things misogynists say.
If someone is unironically basing a sense of gender superiority on having pockets I feel bad for them.
Funny how when there’s a thread about misogyny on Lemmy, the comments are full of guys chiming in about “never seeing it.” But when someone points out problematic comments in real time, the downvote ratio is always wack.
Which means guys are seeing it. Which makes it hard not to assume that, for many, the ignorance is willful.
Alternatively, maybe it’s just that we don’t see this particular comment, which is about underwear, as being a big deal? And you insist that we just take it as given that it is misogynistic because you say so, and accuse us as being willfully ignorant when we disagree, rather than doing anything on your part to convince us otherwise?
The person who did the most good is actually @y0lai, who actually took a moment to explain why the comment did not translate well, but acknowledged that the intent has been to be satirical. That is the only comment I read that made me think, “Okay, you have a good point.”
Do you reject with equal vehemence the rhetoric advocating for violence in the comic in the last panel?
Burn it all to the mother-fucking ground!
What do you think she is suggesting we burn? Hint: it’s not men.
So it’s okay for her to advocate violence so long as it isn’t specific to men?
What’s the difference between this and the “kill it with fire” meme that’s been floating around for years? Have we really reached such a low point in public literacy that the use of hyperbole in a comic strip requires a disclaimer?
Exactly. While I get that it’s not exactly the same, it seems roughly as weird to make a big deal of accusing @nandeEbisu of being misogynistic as it would be to accuse the comic artist of being violent.
If there was a market for it I’m sure some fashion company would jump on selling pants with pockets to women. It’s most likely women want to complain about this but won’t actually buy clothes with proper pockets
I know lots of women excited when they have clothes with functional pockets. If you want to get conspiratorial, the better reason to pick is bag sales.
Truly the devil’s panties.
Is she getting mixed up with the fly? I’ve never seen a phone pocket, or any pocket, and don’t quite see the purpose
They exist!
I see plenty of women wearing athletic shorts that have a large phone pocket.
I don’t think they’re overly common but she must be referring to men’s underpants like this:
That seam right down the middle doesn’t look like it would be comfortable
Old hag shouting at clouds.
Considering the amount of complaints about this issue, wouldn’t there be a screaming demand for them in clothing stores?
THERE IS! We complain and cry and scream but nothing is done because it’s rarely a woman deciding that. It’s men. The few that DO have decent pockets are always sold out.
And a woman is less sexy if you can see the outline of something in her fucking pocket, so of course, like always, a woman’s comfort must be sacrificed.
Then there you have a once in a lifetime opportunity to get rich. Go get and put your money where your mouth is.
I have a feeling that it’s not quite as popular as you might think.
Every woman I’ve ever known has complained about this when brought up.
Then fix it. Put your money on it if you’re sure about it. I know I’m not.
I’m not a woman and don’t have this issue. My wife and every woman I know does.
Then you dont actually believe it, and just want to complain.
Easy to say from behind a keyboard oh wise one.
We do? Since when? Where can I buy it?
If I’m in my underwear I’m not thinking of putting my phone in a pocket.
Not having underwear pockets are the only reason I’m not in underwear all the time at home.
Are we doing performative outrage over pockets on women’s clothing again? Cool, cool.
Women wear clothing that is more form fitting, and stuff in pockets deforms the figure. That’s why purses are a thing. If you are hellbent on big pockets sporting goods stores have hiking trousers with big cargo pockets.
I’ve started wearing molle pouches on my belt, so I have pockets wether I’m wearing pants or not.
I’m currently carrying 2 water bottles, my phone, my work phone, sunglasses, and several tools that I need constantly.
highly recommend, just wish they were available in fun colors and designs instead of exclusively tacticool bullshit.
