"We made a mistake on our cover this morning and we’re very embarrassed."

The Washington Post Express, a free daily tabloid given to mass transit passengers in D.C., drew ire on Thursday with its cover about the Women's March on Washington that mistakenly featured the male gender symbol.

Not long after the cover was tweeted from the Express account, the publication came under fire by social media users for the offensive mistake. The Express did not outright apologize for the cover but tweeted that it was "embarrassed."

The tabloid later tweeted what the cover should have looked like, featuring the correct gender symbol.

The Women's March on Washington will take place Jan. 21, the day after Donald Trump is sworn into office as the 45th president of the United States.

Gloria Steinem is the honorary co-chair of the march, along with Harry Belafonte.

The event begins at 10 a.m. near the U.S. Capitol at Independence Avenue and Third Street SW. Olivia Wilde, Jessica Chastain, Samantha Bee and Amy Schumer have all said they are planning on attending.

[knarf]

But maybe ..... they identify as male .... ever think of THAT ?

Huh ?

[samtheman]

What? Now they are calling it a mistake? Transgender-phobes!!!!!

[lacrew]

This gender ID confusion has reached its absurd conclusion.

I would have thought they’d have learned this from watching Austin Powers movies...

funny

[grobdriver]

Well it wasn't the magazine's fault.

All those stupid people formed up the wrong symbol!!

[Born to Conserve]

The symbol for male is a penis.
The symbol for a female is a target for a penis.

There couldn’t be a more memorable set of symbols. How do you (unintended pun warning) f-ck this up?

POPCORN ..... more POPCORN ....

Well, it was obviously just a typographical error - caused by an incorrect keystroke, right? Aren't the Male (Mars) and Female (Venus) symbols right next to each other in the keyboard?

Liberals could f-up a wet dream..........

‘Those a**holes must’ve stolen the wrong f-ing symbol!’

Now THAT’S funny right there...!

It's women who wish to be men.
Or at least enjoy the elusive Male Privilege.
Therefore it's unintentionally appropriate.

[Red Badger]

Male Privilege?
Is that like White Privilege?
Boy, I’d sure like to know where I can get me some of that stuff!................

[The Toll]

I tried to call in some White/Male privilege once when I was pulled over for speeding. It didn’t go as planned.
