alchresearch Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I call BS on this story, instead: "Flagging tissue company needs to revive interest in its brand and uses media for lots of free publicity." No doubt in a week or two the company will announce that due to strong public support it will retain the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padders Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 If this carries on the word "man" will be obliterated from our vocabulary, unless of course it has "wo" in front of it. Or in your case, remove the N from your monikar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a genius idea, in fact, I'm surprised other companies aren't already doing that!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil-minx92 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 What about 'fun size' choc bars? Can they substantiate the suggestion they are fun? ---------- Post added 19-10-2018 at 11:36 ---------- If this carries on the word "man" will be obliterated from our vocabulary, unless of course it has "wo" in front of it. No- I saw in another thread there is already a campaign to use 'womxn' instead of 'woman' "Dr Clara Bradbury-Rance, fellow at King's College London, said the spelling "stems from a longstanding objection to the word woman as it comes from man, and the linguistic roots of the word mean that it really does come from the word man". The word is also supposed to be inclusive of trans women, and some non-binary people." (BBC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how one of the Tweets complaining to Kleenex was from someone who is a "Marketing Genius".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dromedary Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Dam.. I'm now worried that I should not buy baby wipes as I dont have a baby! Maybe they should just name them wipes and save my confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattricia Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Maybe we should call a “ Wolf Whistle “ a “ Man Whistle”. Unless they are going to allow us women to whistle after men as well ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
