Burger King U.K. has apologized for a tone-deaf attempt at honouring International Women’s Day on Twitter, after the company started a thread of messages with a seemingly misogynist statement about women. “Women belong in the kitchen,” the verified @BurgerKingUK account tweeted on Monday morning, in a statement that instantly triggered fury and a tide of sexist remarks.
Some celebrated the tweet in misogynist terms while complaining about cancel culture. Many others labelled it a whopper of a misstep on International Women’s Day, and one that could have easily been avoided. “This could have even fit in one tweet,” one user wrote, along with a screenshot of the message in a Twitter draft page. The message does indeed fit within Twitter’s character limit.

Being woke ain't easy; just ask Burger King's PR department.
The problem with academic concentrations in Gender Studies and Critical Race Studies is, you learn to develop all of these outstanding woke ideas in your noggin. Your head is filled to the eyeballs with new and innovative ways to stick it to the White Male Patriarchy.
But if you don't got no way to articulate alls dem good ideas, tha words come out wrong, like dis.

as buger king uk, said it was a play on words, in other words a joke , a attention getter, to promote their scholarship for women who want to pursue a career in the culinary arts.
blank everybody that can't take a joke. grow up and and stop being offended at everything that doesn't fit the social agenda the world is pushing.
ETA: it's not like they said barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

Feminism means getting women into areas that they are under represented. So long as they are clean, professional and white collar.
