Correct. This argument by women for pockets always perplexed me. It always seemed like there was a collective worldwide cry by women to have pockets in their pants because there has been a conspiracy by the pants Illuminati to oppress pants and dress pockets. 

And when I heard women complain like this I thought “Sheesh just puts pockets in pants! Is that too hard to do for women?” And I thought, “Why wouldn’t there be pockets in pants for women if that’s what they want?”

But no. It turns that women don’t really want pockets in pants and dresses.  Maybe it’s the same very vocal 4 women who want pockets.  Because if this was a product that sells it would be on the market.

Women want both pockets and a tight fit, just like anyone looking for a car wants the performance of a Ferrari with the price of an entry level sedan.

But at the end of the day, something has to give, and the consumers decided they'd rather have tight pants without pockets than loose pants with usable pockets.
