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.
True, as in that’s the way liberals think.
It certainly is more significant than some arbitrary social construct. Being a woman is set in biology, and is literally written into every cell of our bodies. We cannot escape it! (And why would we try to, anyway?)
This is your brain on drugs.
Liberals live in a constant state of congnitive dissonance. It’s great to see it trigger like this. Their brains just shut down.
Went through the whole day without even noticing any real world evidence that this protest even happened. Then again, I work with professionals who want to keep their jobs and don’t engage in mindless and hysterical leftist passive aggressive protests.
REAL woman were at work today or at home being moms and wives. The ones who make America great. Sorry snowflakes, YOU aren’t REAL women. You’re just a bunch of loudmouth loonies out there screeching and whining like sore loser Clintoonie in your wacky pink hats.
I’m a woman and have NO IDEA what these women want.
They are just unhappy women and are lashing out at-————nothing.

Babylon Bee is a satire site.
I contend it is the last bastion of satire, though this parody is also bringing it dangerously close to “reality is stranger than fiction”.
I’ll bet you’re happy too. These idiots look for reasons to be miserable and want everybody else to be miserable with them.
Understand the Left: “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution.”
The object of protesting is protesting. They must be resisting, rebelling, revolting, ... the message is irrelevant, it is the act of acting that they pursue.
Idiots are gonna be idioting, ya know.
These creepozoid wackos give wackos a bad name.
I think brains on drugs would actually be more logical.
Come see the violence inherent in the system. Help, help, I’m being oppressed. You saw him oppressing me?
It's all downhill from there. In a few weeks she'll be posting to FR.
They are just ignorant children who never grew beyond their rebellious teen years. Still trying to prove to mommy & daddy that they are their “own person”. They need a large dose of reality therapy.
You reminded me about a scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
