Feminist request UK company change It product because It has "Man " by Nobody: 11:17am On Oct 27, 2018
A feminist in the UK wasn't too happy with the tissue company called Kleenex because one of it product range has the word " Man size " on it.

The mother of one, Lisa, who is also a marketing executive took to Twitter to request that Kleenex Change its product to " extra large " to be more inclusive of women instead of " Man-sized"

I think it's a sensible decision but lots of men are angry and are commenting under the Hashtag #kleenexmansize . What do you think ?

Lots of reply but the most shared is a parody account that " hopes" to fix Kleenex's reply

Feminists and misplaced priorities

These people are happy and well fed. They are so comfortable that they go around looking for something to complain about

Woman should also be changed to "woperson" and women to "wopeople".
Thanks.

I find it amusing that the company listened to one person's complaint and acted on it.

Will they do this for every random complaint or is the lady influential?

I find the mansize odd anyways. A better word would have been kingsized.

Never heard mansize undecided
Re: Feminist request UK company change It product because It has "Man " by Seahawk: 2:39am On Oct 30, 2018
She’s right. And the company took the right step.

You people finding issues with her post are the real problem.

Man size. What does that even mean?
What about women who are bigger than men?
Wil they have a special big-woman size for them?

There was no reason to specifically label ordinary tissue man or woman size. The use isn’t gender specific. Anyone can use it. They were the ones creating problems and gender division where there should have be none.

This is probably why you're not into product branding. What is the difference between man-size and king-size?

By the way, you've never heard of man-size clothing before?

@bold:

You are right, I am not into product branding however, king-size sounds better to me.

Just like Indomine hungryman size sounds better than hungryking size.

What is man-size clothing? When they say man-size clothing, I can't even picture a size in my head.

At least we've dispelled the notion about you NEVER hearing of man-size before.

As for suddenly not knowing/picturing a size in your head when you hear "man-size", I take it you're like the 4yr old son of Lisa who has never taken classes in figures of speech. grin
While we can forgive the boy's juvenile understanding, I don't know what your excuse is.

Yea they changed it already, probably because they couldn't be bothered with the number of dumb women who would use the opportunity to unite and bring down their sales.
Lisa is a deceptive mother - capitalizing on her son's naivety and exploiting it for her own agenda. She could effectively have told her son that the same way there are king-sized beds and it's not only Kings who sleep on it, that is exactly how there can be man-sized tissues and it's not only men who use it.

First, I find your post rude.

Second, from my posts, it is obvious I Bukatyne have issues with the 'sound' of the word and not the 'meaning.'

I can't help what you understand from my posts so far which is clear to anyone reading it.

Rude? You know I can't be rude to you na, I apologize. No vex.

Having issues with the sound of the word and not the meaning is one hell of a confusing new clusterfvck twist Bukatyne...but I'm trying to not be rude, so I'll just let you be.
