    I was wondering why my GF (now wife) often gave me stuff like keys to carry when she didn’t have her purse with me, since her pants seemed to have pockets. However, they were actually fake pockets. Just a nice looking design but they couldn’t actually be opened

      It’s a real conspiracy, I’m telling you. They’re giving women the little things so that they won’t ask for pockets.

        Exactly and as you can see from my example, she immediately lost her independence and needed me to carry things and later get them back. I had the pockets.

          This is a big reason that young women feel like they have a lot of pressure to get married to a wealthier man that has the resources to have pockets, or if they can’t find one, settle for one that has at least a decent hoodie. I feel like a lot of them wouldn’t bother if they didn’t have to rely on the pockets of men.

      If you own a sewing machine I suggest if any of those clothes have mini pockets ripping the seams and adding fabric to make a big pocket. Help her take back her power!
