Something seemed to be amiss at today’s launch of the Limerick Women's Mini Marathon.
Limerick's Live 95FM posted a promo picture from the launch on their Twitter account and the internet was quick to point out that the photo needed a major rethink.
Have a look at the picture below and see for yourself what is missing.

Yes you guessed it … An actual woman!
The reaction to the picture has not been kind.
@LimLive95fm a masculine group of women if you don't mind me saying?

@LimLive95fm I think you spelled "Men's" wrong.

@LimLive95fm you couldn't find ONE woman? At all?

Unfortunately, this has done little to quell the rabble.
