It was a big oversight...

The Washington Post Express has apologised and expressed its "embarrassment" for a mix up which was published on the front page of their paper. The Express, a free daily from the Washington Post, lead with a story about a 150,000 strong women's rights march. But the paper used an image of a male symbol instead of a female symbol on their front page, and social media wasn't slow to let them know all about it. https://twitter.com/kimmybetsill/status/817022868408193024 https://twitter.com/ginjasnappy/status/817031688253571072 The newspaper was quick to apologise for their oversight as they issued a tweet stating their embarrassment over the use of the incorrect symbol. https://twitter.com/WaPoExpress/status/817033542446252033 The paper revealed that they'll be addressing the mistake in tomorrow's paper and it will also include the correct image below. https://twitter.com/WaPoExpress/status/817033716593790976
