  • Mansize Kleenex - Sexist...

    I mean even you leftists here must think this is nonsense...

    Kleenex to rebrand 'mansize' tissues after gender complaints

    Kleenex will re-brand its "Mansize" tissues after consumers complained the name was sexist — touching off a social media conversation about what's in a name.

    The company behind Kleenex, Kimberly-Clark, said Thursday that the product, which is sold only in the U.K., will now be called "Kleenex Extra Large." Packages for the tissues describe them as "confidently strong" and "comfortingly soft."

    "Extra Large" might trigger some overweight... er, horizontally gifted persons since even "plus size" is taboo in some places. May I suggest "fun sized"?

      Won't fun size trigger clowns?

            Somehow I think it is possible to respect the opposite sex without pretending the two sexes are exactly the same. If they were not different, there would be not point, now would there?

            Yes - this is very silly. We agree.

            My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

            If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

            This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

              remember the big stink over the Bic for Her pens?



              Just another thing for some people to get offended over.

                "Texas Size"

                But then them Alaskanians would complain.
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  No. We think Texas is a cute little state. They can have that sort of thing.

                    An Anchorage paper once had a contest for a new state slogan. One of the favorites:

                    "Texas is what Alaska scraped off its heel."

                    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                    Than a fool in the eyes of God

                      Let's vote to cut Alaska in half so Texas can be the third largest state
                      We know J6 wasn’t peaceful because they didn’t set the building on fire.

                          I mean, whether the complaints regarding gender were right or wrong, I think "Mansize" is a really stupid-sounding name and that "Extra Large", while a bit more generic, is still a lot better.
