Can you spot the rather glaring error on this front page? Seems the Washington Post couldn’t…

Today in “whoops how did this happen” news is today’s cover of the Washington Post Express, for a story about women’s rights – can you spot the fairly sizeable error?

Yep, sadly the Washington Post doesn’t seem to know its Mars from its Venus and used the wrong gender symbol. Unsurprisingly, people were a bit miffed…

@WaPoExpress do you have any women on your edit team

But how did this happen? Here’s a good explanation…

@WaPoExpress I found where the problem came from. They literally Googled 'Female Symbol' and didn't click through. Thanks Wikipedia! pic.twitter.com/BgNQrxsCOY

And a much better idea for a symbol to use.

They later apologised, but also managed to get that wrong.

Still, chin up Washington Post – it’s not the first time someone has screwed up a front page about feminism. Or should that be “feminisim”?
