Supermarket Sexism.

[Canary42]

While compiling my supermarket online shopping order this morning I checked out the full description of one item. It included the phrase :-

"Voted No.1 Laundry Brand for Sensitive Skin (online panel of 3347 females aged 18-70)"

I can understand such a panel for tampons, but for detergent ?

It's ageist too, don't 71-year-olds do any washing ?

[Note: this is in Chatterbank, home of natter and nonsense, so don't get too serious ;-)]

It's just a survey...

Contact Proctor & Gamble.

Valid point. The only problem is males trying to find a washing machine !!!

Men aren’t Senstive.

I think the demographic probably covers the age range of people who could care less.

As for the 'sexism' - it's still true that in our modern world, more women do laundry than men - that's a simple fact of life, and not necessarily a reflection on the 'subservient' role of women in society.

My wife does the laundry, I cut the grass - each to their own - but the difference is, I can do laundry as well as she can, she has never mowed a lawn in her life!!

I would think that when it comes to survey and product testing sites the majority will be female and in that age group.

I am signed up to a few.

The point is though Andy. She could if she wanted to. Why should she ?

My (male) next door neighbour has mown mine, ever since he saw me doing it in flip-flops.

I often do the washing.

I'm also often in the doghouse for not checking pockets for tissues.

I take your point, Canary. Just trying to work out how many years' credit I now am in!
