I can get away with wearing mens tops and shoes, but my hips are too fabulous for mens pants to look good on me. So I gotta settle for women’s pants.
So I’m currently doing field work for Ecology so I need to get PRACTICAL WORK PANTS WITH LOTS OF POCKETS.
Meanwhile women’s clothing shops are like “UwU, work clothes for women? You mean these business pants with no pockets?” There are no other kinds of workwear for women IN THE WORKWEAR SECTION.
No motherfucker I mean cargo pants with all the pockets and belt loops. I’m going out in the bush. I need pockets for extra batteries and I need belt loops to hook a satellite GPS to. Fuck.
Look at this sexist bullshit. Here is the women’s workwear section:
Here is the men’s workwear section, same store:
Apparently all women work in offices and all men work physical labour jobs and fuck you if you deviate from your assigned role in life.
FUCK GENDER ROLES AAAAA IT’S 2024 AND THEY’RE STILL DOING THE FUCKING NO POCKETS THING
EDIT: Thank you comrades for all the suggestions on where to shop.
That men’s workwear stuff looks terrible too. What the hell are cargo jogger pants? Those things will break apart so fast in an actual blue collar or outdoor work environment. That stuff is for dudes that want to look tough while working an office job and driving a lifted pick up truck.
The women’s section from an actual workwear brand in South Africa looks pretty decent though, just very expensive, thankfully not everyone is doing this weird gender roles stuff. The women’s section of this American brand also looks decent
