"easy for mums to wash and dry"...

[heidihole]

No real reason for this post except I want somewhere to record my outrage and my dogs don't seem to care, they're just staring at me confused!

looking at these waterproofs

fully waterproof with taped seams, windproof and breathable, an end to that wet soggy feeling inside. Easy care for mum too. They can be washed and tumble dried.

why do people think it's OK to say these things?

Mums (and dads) isn't much of an improvement. It reads as though they have just put it in to try and be politically correct, as though they don't actually believe dads do the laundry but if they do they're kind of weird (and probably emasculated) and in a small minority.

Yep, agree. It smacks of an eye-rolled 'oh FFS here have an 'and Dads' you women who don't have anything better to do with your time' kind of thing

the worse one is KFC "give mums a break" - lucky I am not the target demographic for KFC and Iceland but I did have to have a go at my DP for taking the children in there
