Today, Washington Post Express published an issue with the upcoming Women's March on Washington as its lead story. The cover graphic, however...had a bit of an unfortunate error.
Do you see it?
Yup...that's definitely not the symbol for women.
Other people were quick to call out the magazine for its absolutely mind-blowing error, noting that the magazines had actually been printed.
Like @halvorsen and I say "ABP-Always Be Proofing." Right, @WaPoExpress? pic.twitter.com/ZZUdfm6X7u

By the way, if you were wondering whether @WaPoExpress actually printed those covers, the answer is yes. pic.twitter.com/AJL1PwPDpp

Listen, everybody makes mistakes. But perhaps this is a sign that @WaPoExpress needs to hire more women in the art dept. ? pic.twitter.com/GDHYN5xuy7

.@WaPoExpress While you're deleting things you guys should probably just go ahead and include your magazine

To Washington Post Express' credit, they apologized for the error and issued an updated cover with the correct symbol.
This is how the cover should have looked. We apologize for the mistake. pic.twitter.com/MKKOkHPV8T

The Women's March on Washington is set for the day after Donald Trump's inauguration. It began as a Facebook event. Over a quarter million people have expressed interest in attending.
