Are you actively buying pants with tiny pockets? I only buy second hand clothes and have a few "female pants" with pockets that don't fully fit huge phones and even with them it's not a problem. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago Could be a woman.
