POCKETS OF EQUALITY

”I went to buy trousers for hiking.” //
”And now I’m angry.” //
”First off because on the women’s side the colors were yet AGAIN pink and purple. Men’s trousers had more natural colors.” //
Secondly: the side pockets in women’s trousers were made ”inside” the trousers, whereas men’s were outside: You can barely fit a phone here… but everything fits here! //
”And thirdly, the design itself. I have properly wide hips so you’d think that women’s trousers would be the right size for me and men’s trousers too slim.” //
But no. Women’s trousers are made to be ”well fitting” which means very slim and emphasizing the woman’s curves. //
I found a fitting pair from the men’s side. ”Because they are supposed to be a bit too big and comfortable. And you use a belt to tighten them so that they fit.” //
”I mean, seriously: every hiker needs trousers that are comfortable and that have good, big pockets. And one’s gender doesn’t tell if one wants to camouflage oneself in the moss or not. Equality to trousers!” //
I went to the hike wearing trousers I bought from the ”men’s side”.
