Pockets are what women need more of. The women’s movement in the past years has made great progress in achieving greater social justice (公正) for women, but there’s a great deal of work yet to be done. And it can’t be done without pockets. It has been commonly thought that men get the best jobs and make the most money and don’t have to wash the dinner dishes simply because they’re men, that cultural and social traditions have worked together to give them a special place in the world order. While there is undoubtedly some truth in this, the fact remains that no one has studied the role that pockets have played in preventing women from winning an equal social place in the world order. Consider your average successful executive (主管). How many pockets does he wear to work? Two in the sides of his trousers, two in the back, one on the front of his shirt, three on his suit coat, and one on the inside of the suit coat. Total: nine. Consider an average woman dressed for office work. If she is wearing a dress or skirt and blouse, she is probably wearing zero pockets, or one or two at the most. The pantsuit, that supposedly liberating piece of clothing, is usually equally pocketless. And it usually comes with a slim waist to remind women that they were meant to suffer. Now, it seems quite safe to say that, on the whole, the men of the world, at any given time, are carrying about a much greater number of pockets than are the women of the world.
