It’s a sad meme, and a real struggle for women who don’t want to drag a bag with them everywhere, that trousers and skirts/dresses have inadequate or even fake pockets.
One could argue that it’s an economic equality issue at some level, requiring women who wish to function in the word carry an extra and usually expensive for its function bag, when menswear has plenty of pockets.
In cooler weather, I use a trucker jacket. (By the way, Levi trucker jackets for women also have significantly smaller pockets, too. Grrr)
My personal needs are simple. Lip balm stick, keys, wallet phone. My want includes room for a paperback (old school, not a trade paperback...that’s a different “why?”), and a slim water bottle. The jacket does this, but what happens in 80f+ weather? (27C plus)
My keys and wallet are actually on the same carabiner.
I have a couple pair of trousers that can almost accommodate that.
Why should I have to use something that attracts thieves, costs me additional money, and often is a pain to keep seated on my shoulder because of my biological sex structure?
Hands free is a necessity!
I can, on occasion, fit menswear and boys wear. I’m not curvy as far as trousers go. It’s almost privilege level.
I can, on occasion, find a dress with a couple pockets.
I own a festival belt, but it causes weird micro changes in gait, and I develop muscle tension similar to police who wear equipment belts.
Free The Hands!
