Didn't anyone google this first?
On January 21, 2017 over a hundred thousand women will unite in Washington, DC for the Women’s March on Washington. It is taking place the day after Donald Trump’s inauguration as US president.
On Thursday, the Washington Post Express decided to feature a story about the march and the cover was dedicated to it.
It featured a large group of women standing in a circle gathering for the march. The gathering was meant to be in the shape of the gender symbol associated with being female.

However, if a pretty massive error, they accidentally formed the male symbol instead.
Considering that the story was about empowering women and their rights, it's quite a blunder to use the male symbol.
Twitter users expressed their distaste with the cover of the magazine.

You may have thought that it was some sort of satirical joke at society or that it was in some way intentional, but the Express have admitted that it was just a massive mistake.
