Pockets on men and women

It surprises me how much pockets matter.  I am confident that pockets can hold things that make for a bulge in my silhouette and I guess that many women have special shapes they want to show off.  My brother-in-law predicted more than 20 years ago that advertising would persuade men to carry a purse but it seems not to have happened, yet. My wife sometimes complains about there being no pockets on her clothes or such tiny ones that they are rather useless.  From traveling, I taught myself to keep my wallet in a front pants pocket, where it is sometimes difficult for even me to get it out.  I was happy to find that my smartphone fits nicely in my pocket.  Even without a purse, I can usually carry the items I need and want.
