Here in the far-flung future of 2017, a lot of people are having trouble telling the boys from the girls anymore. We hear a lot about “gender fluidity” and “the evils of cisnormativity” and stuff like that. Hell, Tinder actually has 37 genders now, just so nobody feels left out! (And if you swipe left on all but one of them, you’re a bigot.)
So I can hardly blame WaPo Express for getting confused. That’s the Washington Post’s free daily newspaper, as found strewn around the floor of any DC Metro station. Here’s the cover of today’s edition (courtesy of Chris Hynes):

It’s fixed now, sorta:

Let that be a lesson to all of us: Gender is just a social construct, but that’s no excuse for such blatant misogyny!
