"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."
They've taken our Yorkies, they've taken our Mansize Tissues, what is left?
Welcome to the modern world of woke bullshit and "taking offence by proxy for literally anything".
I have a theory:
Mostly everyone who was an adult in WWII has died.
Therefore, there's no one who knows what things really matter, why national pride is a good thing and what it's like to have *real problems* - and the ability to solve them.
I don't want WW3, but you do wonder if there's any other way these silly sods could get their sense of priorities re-aligned.
Yes there was a joke Ronnie Corbett used to tell about that, something along the lines of the company used to make them for smaller men but I do not remember the punch line as his stories had so many tangents you lost track! Incidentally his Daughter Sophie has a shop in Brighton. Its called Four Candles. Brian
Good reasoning. Let's have a few million of our young men wiped out so you can't get offended by a few meaningless words.
But at least in wartime, the press would be controlled, and only publish what the government wants. Which likely wouldn't include silly stories designed to wind up those with nothing better to do.
1) That's a bollocks comeback Dave. "I don't want WW3..."
2) This current sickness with gender identity politics gone beyond words
- you have men who claim to be women winning at women's events in sport. You have men claiming to be women asking to and being put in women's prisons, then going on to assault women prisoners. That's *now*.
It's not about the words. It's about the whole picture. It's out of control.
My point was, for those who have trouble following:
When we had "real problems" to contend with, we did have all this stupid nonsense.
Can you give an example of a man dressed as a woman winning at sport? Other than at a village fete?
Same in a jail. And it would have to be a sexual assault to have any real meaning.
The social meja etc which makes a big point of all these certainly is.
We do have. Called Brexit. Which has near stopped all other important business in parliament.
I'm quite sure the problems of those poor sods who think they were born the wrong gender don't matter to you. But they might be the most important thing in the world to them.
"...was born biological male and identifies as being a transgender woman."
Now if you look at some of the world records in physically extreme sports:

There's a reason we have different categories for men and women - the best men are faster and stronger than the best women. Simple fact, backed up with real world tests verified and set to an extremely rigorous experiemntal standard.
It was.
This was even covered by The Guardian:

"... that a transgender inmate had sexually assaulted fellow prisoners after transferring to a women?s prison."
Bugger SM - the situation exists, it's well reported and it's going to get worse if the morons keep progressing down this road of insanity.
I don't care one way or the other what they do in their private lives.
