    When your headline is a question, the answer is “no.”

    You said yourself “capitalism will do what capitalism does” or words to that effect. So if more women wanted looser clothing, why would companies not start selling it?

    The answer is that they have. Do just one Google search for “baggy women’s jeans with pockets” and you’ll see that they’re readily available.

      Yeah, yeah, it’s all women’s fault for how we’re treated, the products we’re offered, probably even the “pink tax”. It’s our fault, we should shut up. You’re totally right!

      Thanks for derailing the topic of misogyny to complain about some women’s pet peeves about pants.

          Saying that pants with deep pockets are less available than pants with small pockets does not mean pants with deep pockets don’t exist.

          You are pushing the false narrative that women want small pockets and then want to complain about small pockets.

            They are quite available.

            You could buy, in the next five minutes, three different styles of baggy pants in three sizes each. They’d be at your front door in a couple of days. You could try them on, test out the fit and pockets, and return the ones you don’t like.

            If you live in a big city or near a shopping mall, you could walk into a store and buy some big ol’ pants within the hour.

            If by “less available” you mean there are more SKUs offered or shelving space dedicated to “traditional” women’s pants, then yeah I’ll agree with you there. But it’s 2026, you don’t even need brick and mortar, and you can just order whatever you want.
