Amazing that you're down-voted to -3 for expressing your opinion as a consumer. And it's kind of funny that people here are complaining about companies doing a thing which make perfect sense even from a purely financial perspective. Why choose a name that means something gross/weird/derogatory in the language of your consumers? Just bad for business.

The only reliable method to get to -4 faster is to somehow, obliquely, imply that there is a remote possibility that the concept commonly labeled 'sexism' might actually exist.
