There is no doubt purses are useful on occasion and if you are carrying a purse, pockets are redundant.

But I suspect one of the big reasons women complain about pockets is because there are occasions where having to carry around a purse is a needless hassle. I totally agree that tight pants are largely cross purpose with big pockets.

All of my knowledge on the topic is second hand so I lack the foundation to disagree.
