Women’s Day Protester Suddenly Realizes She’s Reinforcing Harmful Social Construct Of Gender

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.

At last we know: gender is a social construct.

I feel so enlightened. I thought it was about gross things like plumbing and hormones.

I suspect many of them are getting a large dose of reality; despite all the affirmative action assistance given them, in my small world I see VERY few young white women being hired. Plenty of young Hispanic and Asian women (depending on the skills required), but almost no young white women (and often it is older white women who don’t want them).

They’ve become as toxic as certain ethnic minorities in terms of hiring.

Where is the fag flag? Usually, in a protest group like this one, there are always a few fag flags in evidence.

And they also proved that it’s safer to hire men as they don’t abandon jobs on such a foolish whim....

Upper left corner of the picture ... although it may be a poster. Will you settle for that?
