"he" stands for "high efficiency" for detergent and washers, and in the future there could be "she" for "super high efficiency"

    This is great until someone takes this and runs with it in the opposite direction, claiming this is “proof” women are made for doing laundry and other household chores

    In case anybody was actually wondering, the difference is sudsing agent. The manufacturers originally put a chemical in laundry detergent to make more suds. That doesn’t make them clean clothes any better, it’s just for psychological effect. Customers feel like it’s working better when they can see suds.

    But too much sudsing in front-loading machines can cause leaking from around the door seals. (Same as putting dish detergent in the dishwasher.) So the HE detergents are the same thing, but without the sudsing agent. They work just fine in top-loading machines, too.

    But does anybody remember those TV ads for Biz detergent which pitted a woman using it against man using “Hiz” detergent? Hooray for casual sexism!

    Those are pronouns that are banned in the Fascist States of America! And energy efficiency is highly frowned upon too.
