Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I agree with you if you can put your phone in a pocket.
However as a counter-point: a lot of women keep their phone in a bag where they wouldn't necessarily feel it vibrate because women's clothing often doesn't even have pockets, so I can't really say they should mute their phone notifications.
I have no idea why chat apps default to making a sound when messages arrive and are sent when the screen is on though—that's entirely obnoxious, no excuse for leaving that enabled
So let's start adding pockets to womens clothing and stop the mandatory purse plague at its core.
I totally agree. My wife is an amazing person and learned to sew. She now makes customs clothing for people including our two girls. Since they were 3 and 4 they would say “look Dad! My dress has pockets!”
At this point 9 and 10 they no longer point it out because every thing they own has a pocket. Leggings, yeah side and back pocket. Pants, yeah an actual pocket sized for function and not one that fits a single mint. A dress, yeah a hidden pocket along the side seems. I am super happy my girls get to grow up with this small life adjustment.
