I think the big difference is that while Women will want to carry as much as possible with them, Men prefer to have storage areas to stash the stuff they might need. Most Men use their cars.
Which is why you end up with the stereotypical guy with a zillion things in his car glove compartment (and the passenger floorpan, and the back seat, and the trunk, etc.) but only a thin wallet and cell phone in his pockets. The Stereotypical Woman, on the other hand, will have a car that is as neat as a pin (other than perhaps a box of tissues and some hand sanitizer in the glove compartment) and will carry around a massive cargo bag/purse full of everything under the sun.
I think you, as other have said, need to simplify and prioritize. Do you REALLY need to carry around a box of band-aids, 3 pens, Purell, hand cream, 15 types of makeup, a change purse, 2 half-chewed packs of gum, various random bits of candy and mints, a mini-pack of tissues and a checkbook-sized wallet? I don’t think so. The MOST you should need is a trifold wallet, a cell phone, and your keys. Keep extra makeup in your car and your office desk if you must, along with all the various other sundries you might need.
When shopping for clothes, intentionally look for pants with extra pockets, or those “hidden” pockets (pockets that start along a seam, so that when they are closed you don’t see them) or zippered pockets. Also, coats are your friends. Be sure to buy coats with good, flap-over covers, preferably ones that have Velcro or snap closes.
