Retail sucks.

But that's a given, and not what I'm here to complain about today, though I'm sure I'll rant about it eventually. Especially after the twelve-hour day I worked yesterday. But alas, I digress. I'm actually here to wonder just who in the fuck thought it would be a good idea for women's dress slacks to have either a single tiny vestigal pocket in the

Regarding pockets

[randomrants]

Why, women are delicate flowers, who have no need for pockets because they're supposed carry around purses with a capacity of 10 metric fucktons.

Women's clothes suck all around, IMHO. I don't care if it's shirts, shoes or pants.

The only "woman's" dress slacks I own are for just that, being dressy. I have two whole pairs for formal events. Otherwise, if I have to wear 'slacks', my ass is in a pair of Dockers.

I should've been born male, I'm convinced of it.

Howdy,

I believe that women's pants have no pockets for aesthetic reasons (UGH). Yes--I've actually heard that the pockets make women too bulky 'up there'...whereas when strive to look bulky in the crotch area. I think it's silly. I also rarely have pockets on my clothes and it does indeed make me sad. I guess at least most coats have pockets (laugh). How about we start up a business called 'pockets for women' where we sell easily attachable pockets with really feisty sayings on them? Wouldn't that be amusing to have some 'work slacks' with pockets on them saying 'keep your eyes away' or 'get bent' or 'like it or lump it'.

Ok, so it's not a very practical idea but it amuses me. Anyway, I recently got a couple pairs of jeans (which I usually hate), but what pleased me is that jeans almost always have at least two pockets. Yay.

err..I meant to say "whereas men strive to look bulky in the crotch area"

p.s. I highly recommend Stevia--a natural sweetener which is safe for diabetics and pre-diabetics that is very concentrated. It still tastes sweet but without all the calories and other sugar-related pitfalls, and it doesn't raise your blood sugar levels to crazy heights and it doesn't kill laboratory rats like artificial sweetners. You generally have to get it at health-food stores. It's saved me from drinking a bunch of sugary things...I put it in my hot tea and iced tea all the time.
