Another way women are discriminated against?



This is a picture of two different Centrum Silver 50+. One for Women, the other for Men.
The Top one is a Women 50 + It just shy of an inch long.
The one below it is a 50+ for men. It is much smaller.

Why is it, the one made for us macho, manly men is so much smaller and daintier than the one made for women? Should us men not have the bigger pills? Why should women get the macho pills? (Actually I thing they both be pretty much the same size.)

Or is this more evidence that after centuries of second class treatment and subjugation of women, by even tougher macho, manly men than I, that women are actually tougher now than us regular macho, manly men are?

Whatever, I am having a problem seeing why the Women's 50+ should be so much bigger. My not really dainty, 50+ partner has a problem swallowing those pills, and I can see why she might. There are competitive brands that are smaller.

The women's pill is more colorful than the bland colored men's pill. Is this just the continuation of a bigoted stereotype?

Is it that women are getting more vitamin content and MEN are the ones getting the short end of the stick?

No true progressive would use the imperialistic standard of measurement when the metric one is readily available. I mean it even has imperial in the name! Why do you support the subjugation through violence of other people? Your liberal purity is now in question, you have been warned!!

There is no substitute for full equality. Lacey panties are also needed for men to feel really equal to women.
