Video : Burger King apologized for a tweet stating that "women belong in the kitchen"

Burger King apologized for a tweet stating that "women belong in the kitchen" on Monday after receiving criticism on social media.

The fast-food chain tweeted the message on International Women's Day as part of its launch of an initiative to help increase the number of women in head-chef roles. But many on Twitter said the company's initial tweet, which was followed in a thread by an explanation of its initiative, was tone deaf. Some told the Burger King UK account to delete the tweet, and others vowed to not eat at the chain anymore
