Sexist tissues

It's nice to see we can have a sense of humour about these things. :)

Here in the UK we get 'mansize tissues'. They never have a floral design. Are they not common elsewhere?

The fact that we think flowers and pink are for women is already sexist...

I love Dilbert for so many reasons. It's good to see some humour in this subreddit. Lightens the heart.

Nah, they make plenty of tissue boxes that are a plain grey, green, tan, or blue. They're usually cheaper than the fancy boxes too.

Also, I'm a girl who hates floral patterns on anything.

Now I really want a "Guns and Roses" themed tissue box.

Flowers are a feminine design but pink sandpaper isn't?

I've never paid any attention to Dilbert cartoons but I've seen two posted today. Is it pretty much a misandrist mangina cartoon series? It appears that way from the two I've seen today.

I don't think that this comic is fitting for multiple reasons. For starters, labeling certain colors and or patterns within itself is sexist. Secondly, this is a non issue. I'm not mad that not everything in the world isn't "gender neutral" and getting offended by simple little things like designs on a tissue box is a bit counter-productive.

There's always bog roll.

Back in the early 1980's, I remember a large marketing campaign by kleenex or someone: Man Size tissues! They were extra big and came in a sleek looking black box. 11 year old me liked that.

Please don't post Scot Adams' stuff in this sub. He's a misandrist asshole and he has no respect for what we believe in this reddit.

Nothing says manly than blowing your nose with sandpaper.

Unlikely to be this relevant ever again
