Re: Gender inequality or political correctness gone mad!!!
There are obviously lots of females with big noses.
Re: Gender inequality or political correctness gone mad!!!
Good point.
Are men's noses bigger than women's noses?
If so, why don't Kleenex bring out Woman Size tissues .................. or even Child Size tissues?
What about Man Size kitchen roll or Man Size toilet roll?

Hi all, When I see the term Gender Inequality I very weirdly think - When are they going to sell "Men's Sanitary Towels"?

Re: Gender inequality or political correctness gone mad!!!
I don't think it's either. Just a simple re-branding, that's all. The expression 'man-size' or 'man-sized' is, or at least has been, in common parlance to denote something a bit larger than the median. But it has probably become a bit passé in recent years. So - does it really matter if the makers want a re-brand?"Gender inequality or political correctness gone mad!!!" ... ?
One re-branding of a common product, a few years ago, which did irk me, was when "Jif" (the household cleaner) became "Cif". No matter what it's labelled on the supermarket shelf, I refuse categorically to refer to it as "Cif". In my student days fear of the "syph" was rife amongst my generation. Anyway, we generally buy the Tesco's own-brand, which is half the price and does the job just as well...

Surely it's a hard "C" as in Kif.
Perhaps yours is now Tif.

Any publicity is good publicity.
The manufacturers are getting plenty of it free in discussions like this but when I first saw something about this, I misunderstood and thought some women were upset at having to ask for "Outsize" which I think is the new name.

Noses?
I always thought there was another reason why man sized tissues existed...

Switch to Earl Grey, eat Cox apples or Ruben's apples.
Buy whatever sized tissues you want, does the name of the size matter? If the company wants to re-brand does it matter? Does the fact the original name had man in it and they gave in to complaints over that really matter?
