Description
-
The #GiveUsPocketsOrGiveUsDeath post on X (formerly known as Twitter) represents the appropriation of the famous quote from Patrick Henry, “Give me liberty or give me death”, that represents the determination and significance of the American fight for independence. The adoption of this phrasing is intended to emphasize the significance of women’s advocacy for (functional) pockets in their clothing. Also present on other social media sites, this social media advocacy represents the continued discontent with the lack of pockets or limited functional pockets typically integrated into women’s clothing.
