What does that mean? What happens on International Women\u2019s Day? (interruption) Oh, come on! (laughing) So I&#8230; (laughing) So I asked Snerdley, &#8220;What is it?&#8221; (laughing) &#8220;What is it?

(laughing) I haven\u2019t laughed this hard since I watched an episode of The Shield the other night.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Back to International Women\u2019s Day. McDonald\u2019s&#8230; You know the golden arches? This is the kind of stuff to me, this is just&#8230; It\u2019s just silly. But this kind of symbolism has taken over in substance in so much of our culture, and it amazes me &#8212; it honestly does here &#8212; that feminists can be so mollified by base symbolism that doesn\u2019t do anything, it doesn\u2019t accomplish anything. So McDonald\u2019s, in one of its locations in California&#8230; In one location, not all of them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267008\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030818-Mcdonalds-Women.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030818-Mcdonalds-Women.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030818-Mcdonalds-Women-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How many McDonald\u2019s locations are there? Thousands, right? In one location in California on the sign outside, they flipped the arches so that rather than having them look like two arches, it looks like a W &#8212; and this is supposed to signify McDonald\u2019s\u2019 solidarity wouldn\u2019t with women on International Women\u2019s Day. The problem is, there were people running around claiming the golden arches looked like an M, and therefore McDonald\u2019s was discriminating by showing preference for men.<\/p>\n<p>Its logo was male-oriented. No! Those are two arches. &#8220;No, it\u2019s not,&#8221; said angry feminists. &#8220;It\u2019s a secret. That\u2019s an M! It\u2019s for McDonald\u2019s associating with men and males.&#8221; I literally&#8230; I hear this, and I cannot intellectually relate to it. All I can do is laugh at it. So McDonald\u2019s flipped the arches in one place in California just for the day. &#8220;McDonald\u2019s chief diversity officer Wendy Lewis told CNN the logo flip is being done &#8216;in honor of the extraordinary accomplishments of women everywhere.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, then, if it\u2019s that important, why not flip every McDonald\u2019s sign instead of just one in California?<\/p>\n<p>See, this is pure symbolism that doesn\u2019t mean anything, and yet look at the number of people that are satisfied by it. Wrong word. Not satisfied. Look at the number of people who actually think that there is substance to this, that has some kind of genuine and real meaning. You know that there are now Brawny women paper towels? I mean, some kind of&#8230; I guess in one sense, we should be happy that this is all it takes to mollify a bunch of angry feminists. Flip a sign? If that\u2019s all you have to do, fine. We\u2019ll flip signs all day long, if that\u2019s all you want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I guess in one sense, we should be happy that this is all it takes to mollify a bunch of angry feminists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":267008,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
