I've only experienced this the other way round. 'SInce you're taking a bag anyway, could you fit in my jacket/book/camera/bottle of water...'Hopefully it doesn't come over all MRA to suggest that men suffer from the patriarchy of pockets as well. We're all too often conscripted into the role of walking handbags for the women in our lives who can't fit their keys, phone or wallet into their own jeans.
