READING:
A tissue company changed the name of its Kleenex "Mansize" tissues. People complained that the name was sexist. The name is over 60 years old. Adverts said they "stayed strong when wet". The tissues will be renamed "Extra Large". Other companies are now making sure their products have no gender issues.
The company said the tissues did not suggest that only men were soft and strong. It said it would make the best products for customers. It takes feedback very seriously. The name change started a discussion on sexism. Someone said the store Mothercare should change its name because fathers also look after babies.
