Man size.

[marshbrewer]

Ironically the name Manchester comes from a Latinisation of the Celtic word Mamucium. Mam as in mammary as in breast. Because there was a nearby hill that looked like a breast.

Pffft. That's even worse. Typical men, objectifying women's bodies. It should be renamed 'Stoplookingatmerapistchester'

I’m going to write to Mothercare as their name suggests a Mother cares more about her child than the Father. I’m thinking ‘Parentcare’ would be more appropriate. Should only cost them a few million to rebrand every store. ‘She’ and ‘The Lady’ magazines also require some direct action as they’re exclusive and don’t get me started on Ladybird books.

Starting tomorrow night, when I’m going out, I will be using the women’s toilets if the men’s is busy on the basis that I will be presenting as gender fluid.

The world is very slowly going completely mad.

And their will be a lot of fluid from a gender after a few pints.

Now you've opened a can of worms.

The term "man" (from Proto-Germanic *mannaz or *manwaz "man, person") andwords derived from it can designate any or even all of the human race regardless of their sex or age. In traditional usage, man (without an article) itself refers to the species, to humanity, or "mankind", as a whole.

Or as Trudeau would prefer you to say "humankind".

Hi!
Cloth handkerchiefs v paper hankies.
How much of our refuse is used paper hankies? How many trees are felled so that we can blow our noses?
Try being on clean up duty and having to pick up used hankies dropped on the floor -gross!
Cloth handkerchiefs NEVER split when blowing your nose, and as for washing - hey! It's only snot!
Germs die in your handkerchief.
Stop being so wet, people!

Bah. I'm greener than the lot of you.... just sneeze into my hand then nonchalently smear the effluent all over my clothes. It all comes out in the wash.... eventually. I don't care what 'size' tissues come in. Gunge by name, Gunge by nature.

Mother care went out of business so you cant :p

They should have just called them 'F%$kin massive tissues' and if anyone complains just say their being non gender specific and thinking of everyone

 

[divrack]

First they came for our privileges, and we said nothing, next they came for the name of our tissues and we said nothing, finally they told us to do the dishes, but by then it was too late as we had all been rendered ineffectual sexless emasculated drones, and the EU had banned everything, and dishes themselves weren't allowed as they were too round and we had to eat everything off slates and pieces of wood... Truly gentleman, these things shall come to pass unless we continue our heroic quest of outrage at the slightest detail.
When will the persecution of men end?

The world has been batshit crazy for ever. We were used to how it was.
Any country that still insists on having separate hot and cold taps at opposite sides of the sink needs to take a long hard look at itself in the mirror. And then stop.

Since no one's in the ladies' corner on this important issue, I'll do it.
We need to immediately eliminate the word "hysteria" from the language.
Why? Because the word has at its root "hustera" meaning "womb." Hysteria was once thought to be caused by a disturbance of the womb. Can't make this stuff up.

That's good HOWEVER it still could be conceived as having negative connotations toward giant people population--those over 6' 5" in height--and singling them out as different. Very bad. Very bad.

My brother used to blow his nose into the inside of his shirt when we'd go out for a run. I thought that was bad. Why not just do the thing where you clear each nostril away from the body (outside on the pavement and not indoors)?
You win.
