I'll give it some thought shortly but off the top of my head I can see "lady shave" having to have a rethink.------ This thread is Archived ------

Poor Lee is his own worse enemy. He pushes all women away with the chip on his shoulder.

Nope, doesn't bother me and sometimes I enjoy eating a Swanson hungry man dinner. Really, if this is the sort of thing that irks you, maybe you should just stay in bed?

But anyone with half a brain could see it was only marketing and not a direct personal assault on women. If we look about, I'm sure there will be examples of advertising or products that deliberately seek to alienate either gender.
No need to get all up in arms about it. Loads more pressing issues.

wobblyheed: Agreed. That really should be the attitude to take.
Nothing wrong with equal rights at all but rebranding stuff to suit the crazies is a slippery slope.
political madness gone madNothing wrong with equal rights at all but rebranding stuff to suit the crazies is a slippery slope.

Oh totally! That's why it was so clever.If we look about, I'm sure there will be examples of advertising or products that deliberately seek to alienate either gender.

What annoys me is women-only gyms.
I'm sure there's a relevant reason for them. But it always grate at me.

At risk of stirring up a hornets nest, it does appear that it's only bloke stuff that needs to undergo this type of rebranding.
Not much point in us complaining though as it just looks like we're throwing our toys out of the pram.
We need the support of sensible level-headed women.
In fact, we could do with a lot of these minority causes, championed by the crazies to turn round at some point and say "Thanks for all your help, we'll take it from here".
A good old fashioned outbreak of common sense is all that's needed.
Not likely, unfortunately.
Real chips or frozen?

It's ironic really. The only reason they called them mansize to begin with was to make men behave like a lady and buy tissues.Really, if this is the sort of thing that irks you, maybe you should just stay in bed?

Most people feel the same. It's just the fanatics on both sides shout loudest.Not much point in us complaining though as it just looks like we're throwing our toys out of the pram.
