6. Why don’t women’s clothes have pockets? With Caroline Criado Perez
Have you ever noticed how women’s clothes have very few if any pockets? Is it the fault of ‘big handbag’? The patriarchy? Or do women simply not need to carry things? In 1954, Christian Dior declared that “Men have pockets to keep things in, women for decoration” but what’s decorative about a pocket? And why has nothing much changed in 70 years?
