NEW YORK, NY—A protester yelling into a megaphone on International Women’s Day suddenly realized she was reinforcing the “oppressive and harmful” social construct of gender by promoting a day that implies gender is inherently meaningful, sources confirmed Wednesday.
Midway through screaming the phrase “Down with the patriarchy!” into the loudspeaker, the woman suddenly stopped and thought about how her presence at the protest suggested that the concept of womanhood represented something more significant than an arbitrary social construct foisted upon females.
“Wait a minute, think about what we’re suggesting here,” the woman said to her fellow demonstrators as she lowered her megaphone, according to witnesses. “By participating in this protest, aren’t we suggesting that ‘man’ and ‘woman’ are ideals that transcend culture and subjectivity?”
“What have we done?!” she added.
The woman then called for the protest to be paused in order to rationally discuss the perceived inconsistency in the protesters’ deep-seated beliefs, but was quickly shouted down with her own megaphone, according to sources.
Babylon Bee is a satire site. You should really note that somewhere in your post.

Rationally discuss?
Yeah, like that’s gonna happen.
Getting tougher and tougher to tell the difference between wild satire and the Liberal talking points of the day.
“Babylon Bee is a satire site. You should really note that somewhere in your post.”
Nonsense, it is much more fun seeing the reactions of people who don’t realize that it is a satire site.
International Wokers Of The World
Ok, lets say this article is ‘satire’.
However, good satire requires a good dosage of truth.
Notice how the ‘ladies’ are sitting back while the ‘confused’ boys are now playing girls sports, winning and taking scholarships away from the girls.
In actuality, the Womens ‘groups’ can say NOTHING because for years they have been pushing that women are as good as if not better then men in many circumstances, keeping woman out of mens sports hurts their chances to big paydays - which the women deserve because they are equal.
NOW, if the NOW crowd suddenly goes bananas on boys in womens wrestling, track etc etc they are admitting that women AREN’T mens equals in ALL things.
Talk about weaving a web......
Given today’s world, this might not be satire. We have already seen tiffs between lesbians and trans fighting over the same turf. The pink p hats were also claimed sexist because “not all women have vaginas”. It’s not that far fetched for the Babylon Bee satire to be true. They are just about a year or two early.
I couldn’t even fit the headline in without truncating it.
I put it in the keywords.
LOL!!!
True.
Anyways, people ought to be able to tell it’s satire because something that makes that much sense would never happen in real life.
The Left is satire gone bad.
Trolling others with real satire because it’s believable of the Left (I mean, a woman might actually suddenly realize she’s been a TERF that way) is still trolling.
That said, it clearly says Babylon Bee as the source.
These are much better without the satire warning! You read a few lines thinking what the heck and then you find out it’s the BEE.
Listened to their podcasts this morning. Devote Christians. Motivated me to get my fanny into church!
This, and DuffelBlog for us veterans.
It’s OK. Snopes has tried “debunking” their articles a few times, before being righteously mocked for it.
Babylon Bee got me again! XD
And the Bee got Snopes.
