Presumably you’re referring to the masses of faux outrage on Twitter complaining about Kleenex’s decision to rename its tissues? |  |

Oh! Yeah apparently they can't be called man-sized or some bollox, FFS.
Think I'm right in my assumption, Wayne??? |  | | |

Mastermind is being changed too as it suggests men are more cleverer than women. |  |

On the basis that the world's most articulate 4 year old asked a question about why they're called man size (whose job is in marketing btw) | |

I genuinely don’t know why anyone cares but even some of the most placid of my twitter chums are ver exercised by it. They don’t give a f*ck about actually important things mind. | |

My query is that all this faux outrage detracts from serious discussions, which, ironically include sexism | |

A friend of mine told me the other day that his daughter in law’s scan showed that his impending new grandchild would be “a boy”. I helpfully pointed out that he shouldn’t burden the child with outmoded gender labels before they are even born. He’s now agreed to refer to them as a “male child” and allow the child to make their own, pressure free gender choice or choices. I’m a good friend and he’s very grateful to me for helping to ensure that his grandchild is not burdened by societal expectations. | |

That’s a statement, not a query. I fear we may be talking at cross purposes here. Are you referring to the apparent outrage that led to Kleenex changing the description of its large tissues? Cos there wasn’t any. Or the outpouring of outrage towards Kleenex that followed that decision? | |

I saw that tweet. Dubious veracity aside, you probably need to have another look at the definition of the word “outrage”. | |

You wait until the 'desperate-to-be-offended' brigade and their kangaroo court(s) start placing Sainsburys in the same league as racist white-supremacist band Skrewdriver because the wording 'Afro-Caribbean' has been used.
They'll ignore the fact that the black community has labelled its own community centres such for many decades. Await the PC-brigade bearing Matthew Hopkins witchfinder general standards out to smear decent individuals whom just happen to say the wrong word!
You just wait! .... When the zero common sense /reality void loons start slinging the mud and malicious racism accusation courtesy of a desperate psychological yearning for gratuitous personal offence based upon imagination-mind reading-and-thought-crime......And?.......To satisfy intellectual snobbery and to and to get one over Joe-Average whom is not up to date with the latest version of the ever expanding PC-dictionary of 'manufactured' offence!

Manchester's mayor Andy Burnham has announced recently that the name of the city has been causing certain sensitivities among some of the inhabitants due to its sexist nature and lack of inclusiveness. The names Womanchester and Corbynstan are on the shortlist. |  |
