Post to r/memes by u/McTavishSoap, only text in message reads "Legend of Zelda". Image below it contains two image, first image reads "Girl's pockets" with a picture of a pocket small enough to fit an index finger in next to it. Second image reads "Boy's pockets" with an inventory screen from Legend of Zelda right next to it.
Inb4 some people say 'women voted with their wallets', no we did not get to vote.
If you think we get to choose what size of pockets we get for pants that fit us without being uncomfortable, you have not shopped for women's clothing as a woman, ever.
When women buy pants, it's like bringing a random metric screw to an imperial hardware store hoping to buy a nut that fits and also all the labels are written in some alien language. The words 'size 8' never mean the same thing on any two pairs of pants.
Here are some common issues we encounter. It's not as simple as 'oh women are just vain and want pants that are a tight fit'. Women don't get the nice 33"x34" measurements that men get in spite of needing standardization more than ever, partly because it's nigh impossible to standardize the wide variety of hip and waist sizes women have and how it changes throughout the month. It's always 'these pants are perfect except':
So please, I beg of you, don't commit bullshit about how 'women chose this'. We did not.
