    Kleenex "Mansize" tissues renamed "extra large" because sexism.

    Kleenex buckles under pressure from womens' "customer complaints" of sexism:

    In this day and age, is it right for @KleenexUK to have a product that is MANsized? The world is changing, maybe they should too?
    Really @Kleenex? Do women have different colds to men which mean they have different tissues?
    My four-year-old son asked me what was written here. Then he asked, why are they called Mansize? Can girls, boys & mummies use them?... He suggests you should call them “very large tissues”. It is 2018.
    Staff manning the company’s social media feeds revealed the change in name in response to customers, without offering any explanation. It reads: ‘Thank you for sharing your concern. We recently made changes to our Mansize branding and will now be labelled as Extra Large, keep an eye out in shops.’
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...omplaints.html
    Don't they mean "staff womening the company's social media feeds ..."?
