voldothegr8 10/19/18 10:06:02 AM #1:	https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/Kleenex-to-Rebrand-Mansize-Tissues-After-Gender-Complaints-498017691.html Kleenex will re-brand its "Mansize" tissues after consumers complained the name was sexist touching off a social media conversation about what's in a name. The company behind Kleenex, Kimberly-Clark, said Thursday that the product, which is sold only in the U.K., will now be called "Kleenex Extra Large." Packages for the tissues describe them as "confidently strong" and "comfortingly soft." Kimberly-Clark told Britain's Daily Telegraph that it in "no way suggests" that being both soft and strong was "an exclusively masculine trait, nor do we believe that the Mansize branding suggests or endorses gender inequality." "We are always grateful to customers who take time to tell us how our products can be improved, and we carefully consider all suggestions," the company said in a statement. The tissues, which had been on shelves for 60 years, were launched at a time when large cotton handkerchiefs were still very popular and the brand offered "a unique disposable alternative," the company said. It remains one of their most popular products, with over 3.4 million people buying the tissues every year. SJWs are a plague upon this planet. --- Oda break tracker 2018- 7 (3) \| THE Ohio State: 5-0 \| Oakland Raiders: 1-3 Super Mario Maker Profile: 1237-0000-0073-02FE <cite>voldothegr8 posted [p:910793100] in Kleenex to...

MI4 REAL 10/20/18 6:35:35 AM #28:	Women today hate anything that caters to men in any way. Remember shows like the A-Team. They were by men, for men. If you were a woman and liked A-Team, you watched the show. If not, you didn't. Same with Married With Children. Of course, there are plenty of shows today that cater specifically to women. Hell Oxygen had "Bliss" back in 2000. Sexual erotica written by women, for women. (Same with Cosmo magazine...how dare they write a magazine exclusively for women!) What do men do? For one, they simply just don't read Cosmo. I've never heard of men rallying that Cosmo was sexist. In fact I've never even heard of a 'meninist' movement, period.
