Ridiculous. Isn't it an objective fact that men are on average larger than women? So if these tissues are on average larger than other brands' then it's a fair description and doesn't demean anybody. The PC brigade only have a problem with stuff like this because they can't tell the difference between natural gender and grammatical gender. They should be forcibly relocated to a place such as Germany, where the words for "woman", "girl" and "Miss" are all neuter. There's even a word in Russian meaning "man" which is feminine.

Absolutely - I couldn't agree more. I readily admit to getting incandescent with rage at all this PC hogwash and my wife would confirm that I have been on my 'Soapbox' on many occasions on this subject.She has witnessed on several occasions my spitting of feathers and high-decibel fulmination on being alerted to yet another example of high-grade tripe.Indeed I am hyperventilating as I type this.

Food labels are all based on the RDAs for women. And the recommended amounts for some items can vary by up to 50%.
Optimistic as ever |

Edited by Willo (19 Oct 2018 11.03am) Of course I could complain at any claim based on the fact that "men are on average larger than women" on the basis that I am 5 ft 3 and therefore any such statement is heightist. But then a) height isn't a protected characteristic within the meaning of the Equalities Act 2010 and b) it's bollocks anyway. FFS don't they get that the differences between members of the human race is a strength, not a weakness? Life would be pretty s*** if we were all the same.

You mentioned "Height" - To my mind all this PC piffle is the height of objects which are roughly spherical and the male species have two.
