Following President Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday, Saturday saw marches across the US and in major cities including London host "women's marches", although crowds of both genders appeared to support the cause. The marches were held in protest of Trump's presidency following his misogynistic, sexist actions and words.
The BBC reported the story with the headline "Women's March: A united message spanning generations" which highlighted the range of ages that were present during the marches: from children to elderly people, together for a united cause. From the UK, some of the messages directed at Trump were "girls just wanna have fundamental rights" and "women won't be trumped".
The Sun reported one of the more sensationalist stories, creating a sense of extremism to the story that was not there in the more liberal or academic reports, with their headline "I'M MADGE AS HELL! Ashley Judd turns air blue at Women's March against Donald Trump as Madonna tells crowds she wants to 'blow up White House'".
