To celebrate International Women’s Day, Burger King U.K. announced a new scholarship program designed specifically to help female Burger King employees pursue their culinary careers. Initially, Burger King U.K. defended its tweets, but the company has since apologized for its choice of words. We got our initial tweet wrong and we’re sorry," Burger King U.K. wrote on Twitter. Most social media commenters, however, responded negatively to the first tweet in the series, which simply read, "Women belong in the kitchen." Even after Burger King UK clarified its intent, social media users continued to call the company out for "misogynistic baiting."
