The internet, where noone overreacts, and everybody already knows the intent...

It still amazes me how triggered some people get 🤣

I think the tweet was tongue in cheek, while actually trying to promote women to better advantage. It's so hard in this world to find a way to use humor with beneficial intent that won't offend anyone. The older I get the easier it is to let some things go, as I realize they are making fun of the old ways of thinking. Unfortunately for some, it's too soon.

Berger king burgers used to be my favorites. But, the company moved their headquarter to Canada to avoid taxes. I have not bee to Burger King and will not return.

They were trying to promote a culinary scholarship program for women. No good deed goes unpunished.

Yes, butcould have chosen almost any other phrase. Imagine if it were a minority they were talking about, and then you know how it would feel.

@Organist1 I think it was an incomplete tweet without a self explanatory link. I don't know how long it was up before they realized it.

@barjoe Still, so awkward and not well thought out.
