I thought the purpose of the first tweet was obvious
It reminds me of stuff from the Virginia Slims era
No big deal

The first tweet was just an attention-grabbing headline for their actual message about gender imbalance among chefs.
Yes. Their Instagram page did the same thing. Bold headline with a footnote at the bottom. Sadly the attention it got was the wrong kind.

I really don't think so. Ten bucks says they knew exactly what they were doing.

I can’t imagine the slogan Women Belong in the Kitchen survived a tweet unless they knew exactly what they were doing and depending on the initial reaction what the next steps would be.
Perhaps in our new social media world the only bad thing is not being part of conversations. Irrelevance is the worst enemy.
Freud said people are only motivated by two things, to seek pleasure or avoid pain. You need to knock people into one of those places or they do nothing- in this case don’t buy your burger.

Professional Chefs.
It's not women who should be mad, it's professional chefs.

Jon: "Anybody offended by it should have been ignored." Oh? Why is that?
George: "Sadly the attention it got was the wrong kind." No, the attention was the right kind. The goddamn message was the wrong kind.
Copper: "No big deal." Good to know, Copper. Probably a lot of people feel that way about golf, too.
Don't worry about it. People will get over it. A woman's anger only matters if there's a shotgun in her hand.

Did you see the original tweet with the second part? I posted it.

I did, yes. I appreciated it, feeble as it was.
I just wish the mindset that created the headline in the original because humor would go away.

8 March a big event in this house.
I sent out email holiday congratulations to all my former coworkers who are women.
I purchased flowers for my spouse.
I volunteered for kitchen duty and hummed The Internationale while I toiled away.
