Kimberly-Clark have announced why they are really dropping this product

A spokesperson for Kimberley-Clark, the manufacturers of Kleenex Mansize tissues, has denied that the company was giving in to ‘a consistent increase of complaints on gender concerns’ about the name of its tissue brand. The company insists scrapping the ‘Mansize’ branding from its tissue boxes had nothing to do with sexism but it was mainly because the tissues are nothing like the size of a man, not even a very small one, unless he is about 15 metres away, but then the shape would still be all wrong.

However ...
" Sam Smethers, chief executive at feminist campaign group, the Fawcett Society, praised the move, saying: "Rebranding mansized tissues is not to be sneezed at. "

Ladybirds, eh? Or I should say, "non-gender-specific-person-birds"? The little perishers will have taken wing long before I've got my tongue around that word!

In France we get a lot of Praying Persontises.

I always thought the word was "woperchild". Perhaps I'd better check with the Personagepersonst. Or should I say, "Perchildseniorityperchildt"?
