This could actually be a bad translation from German. In German nouns are gendered. The Sun is female, a dog (Hund) is male. So in this case using the male pronoun would be proper gender-neutral in German.

Abby_car Considering it’s true, I don’t think it’s just a joke

[@emmettdonkeydoodle6230]

Matty Key That’s an interesting point. “Just the way it is” is a bit of a stupid conclusion tho imo. Der Hund/die Katze I believe are similarly gendered in most languages that have heavily influenced English. Never thought about it tbh, thanks for the input!

[@britishtf2]

​@@emmettdonkeydoodle6230 Interestingly, the use of he/his/him is grammatically correct here no matter what. When one doesn't know the sex of something, the default is to use the male pronouns. Many people use they/them/their, but grammatically* these should only be used with plurality. It's called the 'Generic He'. Note that this probably comes from the same grammatical roots as the use of 'man' when talking about mankind etc. I cannot confirm this, however. *I still think it should now be considered valid to use they/them/their as well as he/him/his.

I see a lot of comments saying that ‘this is peak British culture’ but we have a guy who does a similar thing in the Netherlands where people write to him about some bureaucratic thing they’re angry about but instead of writing emails on people’s behalf, this guy walks into the offender’s offices armed with a confetti canon and a framed award detailing the hyper specific way in which the company has been a knobhead. Sometimes he gets punched in the jaw. Sometimes he gets the government to change the refugee regulations for children. Sometimes he exposes a big sexual assault scandal in The Voice of Holland. You never know which you’re gonna get

[@ЗвезделинаБожилова]

Wait a second though! If Val's cake can feed at least 30 people with a 186g slice for each person, then her cake has to weigh about 5.580kg. I highly doubt that a cake that small can be so heavy, so I googled it and turns out a birthday cake this size usually weighs about 1.478711kg. So my question is what did you put in there to make it that heavy? A fricking bowling ball perhaps?

I think I know what might have happened there with the dog sexism... Because this does sound like it was translated from a different language without regards to the fact, that dogs in English can be titled neutrally. In other languages, the he/him pronouns indeed CAN refer to female dogs due to the noun dog being a male noun in those languages. However, it is a bit weird that nobody caught that in time before printing the boxes, especially with such a big company.

[@DeathnoteBB]

Not weird, companies with underpaid workers expected to do the jobs of 2+ people tend to let small issues like that slide

[@kachi2782]

About the dog food thing,. It is actually a translation problem. Most of those brands are either manufactured in Latin countries or France (i mean, the brand itself is either often American or French) but the manufacturer (such as printing labels) are made in latin and French countries (I don't know why). The English language has no gender for nouns but French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese do, and so does Chinese (which also manufactures many labels). So in those countries when they say A DOG they actually use the masculine article before the noun. Un Chien Un Perro Un Cane Un Cacchorro 犬 And since the word dog in those country is Masculine, they also use Masculine Pronoun, Him when it is translated into English, because they can't be bothered to translate everything according to each country's semantic and grammatical rules. There was also a law suit in the US filed against a cat food company because they used the pronoun IT on the label and some cat owners associations decided that it was too reductive (Americans!) and wanted the term changed to Him or Her. Printing (him and Her) on the label required three times more ink than IT and multiplied the cost by 100s of thousands of dollars because the ink is extremely expensive and they are printing millions of labels. So there you have it .

[@balaenopteramusculus2858]

That’s maybe the case for those ones, but there’s a lot of pet brands that use female pronouns for cat products and male pronouns for dogs, so weird how people just forget entirely abt the pronoun ‘they’! That would have solved the problem in the one you were talking about too (‘it’ changed to ‘him or her’)

[@kachi2782]

​@@balaenopteramusculus2858 Yes Cats are She and dogs are He but thankfully non binary people have now rediscovered the use of the pronoun They and are breaking our balls with it. So now in the office when someone asks Where is non binary Dominique ? You have to answer They are having a break. Pet are given genders based on their race and very much humanized yet slaughtered by the billions every day, while human are given the right not to have any gender. Such an enlightened period in history we live in ! And yes i am being sarcastic. By the way talking of genders, why are ships called She, is it because they have cats on them to catch the rats?

[@michaelharrison3602]

There is one more letter in the words him and her than in the WORDING so how can that require three times as much ink to print a label that may only contain the word once or twice among the dozens of words on that label think about it makes no sense sounds like imaginative figure juggling by corporate lawyers.
