because someone isn't using that name on TV to constantly remind children that men are supposed to be bigger than women by spending millions to get some fucking sales in their pockets.

here the deal you fucking idiots.

ads like this make children think Men aren't MEN unless they are bigger than every women they know

and that women who are bigger than many men are somehow unfemale

these tyoes of ads harm children for money

but you stupid fucks don't care

you think ceos and corporations are better than everyone else.

here you are again denying science

jesus you people are fucking idiots

I am a huge fan of all the Young's Brews, however we don't get anything but the Double Dutch Chocolate ale here anymore. My favorite was the Old Nicks Barley Wine brew!

Did someone tell you that, or is it a theory you're espousing?

I prefer Fullers to be honest, there isn't a finer bitter ale than Fuller's ESB to my mind.

Kimberly-Clark, which owns Kleenex, said it succumbed to growing public demand to change the name, despite not itself believing that the Mansize branding suggests or endorses gender inequality.

It comes amid a wider backlash against gendered products, with consumers and campaigners criticizing manufacturers of razors, pens, confectionary and other products over "outdated" gender stereotyping.

The Advertising Standards Authority, which regulates adverts, has also said it will ban those that encourage gender stereotypes, such as women cleaning up after their family...

A spokesman for Kimberly-Clark said: "Kleenex Mansize tissues have been on shelves for the past 60 years. Over that time, the brand has always been characterised by a much larger tissue size, which is both soft and strong.

"It was launched at a time when large cotton handkerchiefs were still very popular and Kleenex offered a unique disposable alternative. Despite that our consumer service is registering consistent increase of complaints on gender concern related to Mansize subbrand.

"Kimberly-Clark in no way suggests that being both soft and strong is an exclusively masculine trait, nor do we believe that the Mansize branding suggests or endorses gender inequality. Our Mansize tissues remain one of our most popular products, with 3.4 million people buying these tissues every year.

"Nevertheless, as we remain committed to developing the best possible products for our consumers and take any feedback extremely seriously, we decided to renovate our current product and update the product subbrand as Kleenex Extra Large."

Turns out you were right, although naturally the firm couched their capitulation in different language.

Great choice if you are a hop head- as many ale lovers are- and nothing wrong with that! And the fact that it tastes like a house brew instead of a Commercial brew is also what makes it a great choice. Try it in a Black n' Tan with a great Fuller's porter for a real treat!

Why can't people accept that the sexes are identical?. Women are the same size as men and just as good at all sports as men.

All this has been scientifically proven.
