They're all at it!!
Why on earth do people think it’s necessary to have gender-specific tissues?
You what now? Do you honestly think that those tissues are called mansize because they are only for men?

It's been a common adjective for as long as I can remember.
That just leaves farting to deal with.
Man-sized bog roll?
It’s been a common adjective for as long as I can remember.
As I said, "we've always done it this way" is the worst justification for anything.
It's almost as if there wasn't another thread, where we're discussing how individuals with higher levels of testosterone tend to be larger than those with lower levels. Maybe we need to rename them High-T-size tissues".
Hmmm, as a woman, what really bothers me about society today? Is it the gender pay gap, or the expectation that we’re not feminine unless we remove all our body hair, have massive boobs and wear pink..... or...... is it some ****ing big tissues that used to be called man-size?
Discustaded.
I’m wondering how long we’re going to tolerate the ongoing persecution of giants in our society.
Farting & mansized bog roll go together ?..
I'm afraid I've been doing it wrong all of these years if I'm supposed to wipe my arse everytime I guff ..
It stems from the days when women were delicate creatures and didn’t get snotty, fart or burp, and men are big burly creatures who don’t need to wipe their nose.
The gap between the sexes is closing, women are becoming more vulgar so require larger hankies, and calling them man hankies doesn’t sell them to the fairer sex
If you want to take issue with the naming of sizes, I’d direct you to the so called “Fun size” Mars bar.
They’re tiny.
In my opinion, they’d be much more fun if they were about 18 inches long

I think that depends if you to stuff straight in or suck on it first.
Fun size Mars bars make excellent normal sized Mars bars for midgets.
King size Mars Bars make excellent normal sized Mars Bars for giants
I always remember a tearfull Miss Taxi telling me she wasn't allowed to eat a chocolate bar her Nan had given her. I said unfortunately it was true and she'd best give it to me. I'm still reminded of this today 😁
Sounds like Taxi25 is needed on the Quality Parenting thread.
Is that a proven scientific fact, that snot production is relative to body mass?
Weve got 2 toddlers running around at home with colds
The amount of snot they produce seems to defy the laws of physics
Sometimes, I scatter a box of Celebrations on the floor and pretend to be Godzilla destroying a petrol station.
There isn’t a rational-thinking woman alive that has a problem with man-sized tissues.
Damn it where's the strike through command when you need it?

The real problem with Yorkie, is it tastes f****** disgusting. It's like "cooking chocolate flavour confectionery product", only worse.
Damn it where’s the strike through command when you need it?
Still works

Whoa there buddy, I was only going to strike through the 'rational-thinking' part! ;o)

Don't worry VP. You'll always find a few men on here more than ready to be outraged on your behalf so that you have time to ponder which new bike you want comes in the prettiest shade of pink.
I think it’s fantastic and a sign of how far we’ve come in terms of gender equality that the problem most in need of coverage by the press and discussion by the public at large is that of what we label tissues as.
and calling them man hankies doesn’t sell them to the fairer sex
Mankies?
Mankies?
Thanks for the offer but I’d rather have a clean one.
How long till Manchester gets renamed..
In the 80s I worked for Manchester "main drainage department" at the time "manholes" were renamed "access chambers".
Surely the "Fun-sized" Mars bar should be replaced with the "Whole-gamut-of-emotions" MarsBar?
Or possibly: "Potentially moderately entertaining in a limited way but it really depends on the circumstances and how you are feeling at that particular point in time however please be assured that we are are not making assumptions about your current emotional state and no offence should be taken" MarsBar...although that probably means the packaging alone will be about 80cms long.

Access chambers is their other name nothing to do with PC.
Really comprehensive scientific study:
"Women whose left index and ring fingers are different lengths are more likely to be lesbians, a study suggests."

Gender specific, needs to be banned. 😉
So many people missing the point...

It seems most of the outrage seems to be coming from blokes going we always called them that. Still I'm sure they can all start going on about something else changing in a world not run by men from the 50s again soon.
Damn it where’s the strike through command when you need it?

Is that actually true or did you make it up / hear it somewhere?
How about
Burger Gender Neutral Monarch
The Isle of People
Father Christmas will become 'Androgynous Christmas'
Mother nature will change to 'Gender free nature'
Topman will be Topindividual.
Manchester will be renamed Personchester.
Who's got any more?
Just wait till they start on the romantic languages.
French will never be the same, but might make it easier to learn, le/la.
checks finger length...So that's why I like fannies!
Everyone missing the irony that of course men don't actually use tissues, they use sleeves, tea towels, their hands, other people's hands (I willing to say that may be just my brother) ...anything but the actual thing designed for blowing your nose into.
I think they should be called Liberated Fem-a-tissue. Obvs
Who’s got any more?
Personopause
Gender Neutral and the Masters of the Universe
Gender Neutral and the person and/or persons in charge of the Universe

Argh! Thanks muddy, I totally missed that highly offensive last part 😀
Ooh good one funky P. How about
Fairy Godperson
Fairy Godperson
That is very mythical creature specific there, and has some serious religious selection
Chooses not to be in a relationship with a person of any gender in defiance of the hegemony of patriarchal control mechanisms trackworld.
