It’s not exactly difficult to spot.
Millions of women (and quite a few men) took part in Women’s Marches around the globe on Saturday in protest at Donald Trump following his inauguration as president of the United States on Friday.
Marches took place at a number of cities across the United States, closer to home, there were marches in Dublin and Galway, while at a well-attended event in London, Sir Ian McKellen’s placard earned many admirers.
Understandably, the marches were the topic of much discussion on news channels across the globe, and one particular panel discussion on one of the biggest channels of them all, CNN, attracted significant attention on social media for the wrong reasons.
Safe to say, the panel wasn’t exactly representative…

That said, at least one of the male panel members, CNN’s Brian Stelter, was full of praise for those who turned out in force, saying that, in contrast to Donald Trump’s inauguration, the marches “underpromised and overdelivered”…
