Rampant misogyny just a nice bonus

Survey finds 90% of women join military for pockets

100% pro on pockets

CRYSTAL CITY, Va. — At a conference attended mainly for the continental breakfast, the Pew Research Center announced a recent survey that finds the number one reason women join the US armed forces is the abundance of pockets.

Military women benefit from a 500% increase in pockets as compared to their civilian female counterparts. Military-grade pockets are not just plentiful but tend to be sturdy and large; allowing female service members to store possessions common to women in the service, like the crushing burden of misogyny, constant doubt stemming from imposter syndrome, the looming threat of sexual assault, and bobby pins.
