This is what’s wrong with society.

That you have to hand me your phone for a second?

Yes! This dress has no pockets! Everything you wear has pockets!

Don’t you have a purse?

Oh sure, but that’s easier to steal and cumbersome and I want pockets more often.

And that is the problem with society?

One of them. It enforces that women are subservient to men, being forced to give you things to hold and being reliant on men helping us just to carry the same things guys carry all the time.

I have to admit I hadn’t considered it that way before.

And yet if I call your bag a purse, or worse…

Don’t say murse. Christ what a dumb word.

It is, but if I call your bag a purse you’d get upset.

No, I wouldn’t. It is my purse, really.

All right, most people would get mad.

Fair enough.

And that, my friend, is bull.

Well, you could wear extra pockets…

Are you about to suggest a fanny pack? Because those are so comfortable, stylish and cool.

Well, which do you care about more?

Why should I have to choose?

You shouldn’t.

I should not!

All right, Natasha, but then what?

Perhaps I’ll get a holster.

What?

I can make it stylish. A holster of tiny bags to hold things in. It could be a statement and an accessory and solve my pocket issue.

Wouldn’t people wonder why you had a holster? Like cops and stuff?

It is legal to wear a holster, I wouldn’t have a gun in it.

No but they still might stop you.

Let them! And they will get an earful about my lack of pockets.

That might not end well for anyone…

What else can I do? Just ignore the problem? How will that help?

No, of course not, but there has to be a better way.

Like what?

… I got nothing.

Exactly! So I will make a holster and let the cops stop me and rant about it every time and maybe even end up on the news, who knows.

A social crusader. For pockets.

For pockets!

All the causes in the world and you choose pockets.

Without pockets the world would fall apart!

Without pockets Bilbo wouldn’t have stolen the One Ring!

Wow. All right, Daniel, you can no longer help me with this project.

What, why not?

Lord of the Ring justifications for pockets?

It’s true!

That doesn’t matter. No.

Fine, go be crazy Holster Woman by yourself.

I will! And I shall change the world and help ensure pocket equality for all.

You need a cape.

With pockets!
