Are Man sized tissues really sexist?

[Ilikeknitting]

Or is the news that Kleenex, who have made ‘man sized’ tissues for 60 years bloody ridiculous?

I also thought it was about wanking

And have done for at least 30 years!

"This sort of shit is why many people still don't identify with feminism. They don't want to be associated with the kind of person who complains about a bloody box of tissues"

I mean, do you have to drop all your affiliations and beliefs if one person who says they hold the same beliefs/affiliations does something you disagree with? It's a bit of a weird world view.

Women and feminists get judged extremely harshly for the actions of one individual women. It's obvious why. Don't fall for that kind of nonsense.

I'm so innocent!

JM&J I consider myself to have seen most thIngs but I had never thought man size= wanking tissue 

I can do more snot than any man, I guarantee it.

Some years ago I thought - well what does fun size actually mean? (In the context of I think Mars bars.). That led me on to “man size” and the wanking realisation. I avoided further thoughts along these lines until now. Still confused by the fun bit.

Who wastes 'half a tissue' if they buy the man-sized ones? I use an entire tissue ... perhaps I have a man-sized nose or get man-sized colds or have man-sized bogeys .... I'm not bothered, I'll just buy their extra large ones in future!

I bet not one person has complained about "man sized" tissues

Lass! Some of those thoughts are not very (ahem) delicate!
But I like them.

The snottiest member of our household is also the smallest - my 1 year old son. In my experience a baby can outdo any adult when it comes to mucous production. Though I see that 'baby size' would give quite the wrong impression.

I thought they were for wanking too.

I'm not sure about sexist; it is rather silly and old-fashioned (and dear lord I'd never picked up the additional meaning!). Probably just needs an update to "extra-large" or something.

However, I think there are grounds to discuss pointlessly gendered products - we've all moaned about the price difference between men's and women's razors, you've no doubt laughed at Bic pens "for her", and of course there's Let Toys Be Toys. There's a good board on Pinterest that collates this sort of thing, it's morbidly fascinating and displays really good examples of the macho vs girly culture that's so prevalent now. pin.it/3gouwoxi4onsto

yep, defo for wanking,

Not sure about the wanking. Wouldn’t the menthol sting?

Some men like that. Original source have three different types of mint shower gel.
