LYNWOOD (CBSLA) — A McDonald’s in Lynwood turned its golden arches upside down in celebration of International Women’s Day.
The fast food chain said flipping its logo is “in honor of the extraordinary accomplishments of women everywhere.”
International Women’s Day takes place March 8.
KCAL9’s Tom Wait reported from the Lynwood location. He reported that this location seemed to be the only one taking part in the celebration locally.
19-year-old Cynthia Longoria, who lives and works in Lynwood, said she appreciated the gesture.
“That’s amazing,” she said, “as a female in a low income family. from a minority, it’s great to see representation of not only my gender but in my neighborhood. It feels awesome.”
She said the day is a reminder for women to become empowered.
“I think about it a lot,” Longoria said, “because I think every day is International Women’s Day. Because without women, this world would not be going around. It’s just a reality of the situation.”

They must be feeling completely 100% powerless! All it takes for them to be empowered is for a restaurant to turn its M over and make it a W.
WOW! Big W! No M! No more man! Now woman! I am woman, hear me roar!
What next? will Wendy’s announce that Wendy is actually Willy, and has transitioned?
Will Burger King announce that is is now Burger Queen?

it’s 2 minutes long. I implore all to watch it and send to someone that needs a wake up call.
Yet another reason to boycott McDonald’s.
Lol!
Are they going to turn the bathroom signs upside down too?
I’ve noticed they never have white people in their ads.
I assume it’s because they don’t want us to eat there.
It is definitely not a Feminist celebration!!
By the way, we have a "Men's Day" too. It's February 23rd. It is officially "Defenders of the Fatherland Day." (Red Army Day). But in recent years it's been referred to as Men's Day. It sis also a holiday - we had a 3 day weekend.
It would make more sense to put the “M” on its side, wouldn’t it???
Fascist Russia does enjoy it’s legacy communist holidays that’s for sure.
Boobs or camel toes or great grandma’s sagging tush?
There you go. That’s what I thought of as well.
In a statement to Business Insider, McDonald’s Chief Diversity Officer
Wendy Lewis says: “In celebration of women everywhere, and for the first
time in our brand history, we flipped our iconic arches for International
Women’s Day in honor of the extraordinary accomplishments of women
everywhere and especially in our restaurants.”

How about adding Nancy Pelosi as the Rachel McDonald clown.
Maybe it is time to have a fish sandwich, hold the special sauce.
Yup. I saw boobs.
