BANNED - Man Size Tissues...

They didn't BAN man-sized tissues, talk about sensationalist. why do you care?! pathetic.



i think manhole is derived from manual-hole, so it's safe... for now, precious.

I was being sensationalist for the hell of it, I don’t care. I just think it’s funny some people got so bent out of shape over the name of some tissues.
 
LOL - I read the BBC article earlier... we shouldn't be entertaining people who can't tell when to and not to get offended.

Where On earth did you get that ridiculous notion?

Its called a man hole as its an access point for people.

Fun fact Man is also gender neutral word that means any human being not just males.


Hence, mankind, your fellow man, countryman etc
 
Sainsbury's giraffe bread disagrees. Although it was definitely a real comment. And it was a 3 year old.

See thsts fine that's a legit child and is funny.

But I seriously do not buy that the woman complained it was sexist after her 4 year old son said "'can girls boys and mummies use them". It's just someone following the trend of showing how woke they and thier kids are.


Mum's net is full of this crap to the point even they call it out as made up. "Performance parenting" they call it
 
Interestingly women will still happily buy products that could otherwise be sold as gender neutral simply because they're marketed at women... like overpriced pink razors that do the same job as a regular razor.

Then they complain that the overpriced pink women's razors are overpriced... instead of just buying the regular razors in the first place. (granted some razors are marketed specifically at men too, but plenty are just generic)
 


Well damn a random blogger disagrees with another random.blogger I'm sure it's totally legit

See its cause a man can pass!! So totally gendered after all.

How is quora reliable you can get opposing answers to everything there


Wiki disagree even on the boiler term!

Manhole
an oval access door into a part of the boiler, for example the shell or, in a water tube boiler, the top drum or chamber, large enough for a worker to enter and used for maintenance and cleaning.
 
just heard on BBC they're going to rename the island the Isle of Gender-Neutral.

not really, but probably
saw an ad last night for Pink Casino, seemed to be a gambling site just for females, how sexist is that?
 
Another classic "I'm offended by somebody getting offended over something that doesn't matter" thread.

Keep up the good word, lads.

|and ironically you had to post to illustrate that you're offended by people being offended by people being offended :p

(then again I'm commenting on you doing it... this could turn into exponential levels of offence being taken)

The difference between male and female advertisement in toiletries can be hilarious. The female overpriced pink razors that focus on some super smooth conditioning gel strip and ergonomic shape vs the OTT 6+1 blades with vibration technology and a long name like 'fusion power mach3' advertised by the top sports stars from several different sports.

The OTT lynx adverts were good too, with stampedes of bikini wearing women coming from each direction.

The thing is that these adverts had their place and worked at the time. Sales of Yorkies shot up with the controversial adverts. Lynx seems like the standard deodorant for all teenagers since the 90s when they started running these campaigns.
 
Do men eject more snot than women? Maybe man-sized tissues were not intended for blowing your nose, but for other unmentionable activities. In which case the name would make sense.

On a side note - I came across a picture on Reddit about a mouse mat. I can't think about it, it makes me sick.
