Leftists on social media were outraged by a seemingly innocuous tweet asking to give mother’s the “night off” for Mother’s Day.
The Nestlé brand frozen food company Stouffer’s sent out a tweet on Monday advertising its macaroni and cheese product suggesting families “give mom the night off from cooking.”

But nothing is innocent to perpetually offended liberals who found the ad to be offensive to both moms and dads.
@stouffers Nice sexist ad. So only moms are capable of cooking, and dads can only make frozen meals? Is this 1950?
— Kara Eliason Dorsey (@KaraEliason) May 11, 2017
The company fired back that it was simply suggesting moms not have to cook on their special day.
@KaraEliason Of course not! We want to make sure they get the night off for Mother’s Day! ❤️
— STOUFFER’S (@stouffers) May 11, 2017
That wasn’t enough for Kara.
@stouffers Hmmm. Why doesn’t your ad mention “Sunday” or “Mother’s Day” then?”
— Kara Eliason Dorsey (@KaraEliason) May 11, 2017
The company summarily dismissed her ridiculousness.
@KaraEliason We think it’s implied given the week, but appreciate the feedback. ❤️

Predictably, that didn’t silence the critics.
@stouffers Why isn’t dad cooking half the time already

@stouffers The assumption that moms are doing the cooking is incorrect. #celebratewomen by changing the wording on your ad to be less of a stereotype.

@stouffers This ad feels like the 1950s

@stouffers You keep using phrase “Give her the night off” which assumes that moms are the ones cooking every night. My hubby makes dinner every Sun.

@stouffers Why doesn’t dad cook? Lazy, or just stuck in tired, old gender stereotypes? (Like this ad)

@stouffers There’s an easy way to make this about mothers day but without the sexism. “Cook mom a delicious dinner for mothers day.” Easy!

@stouffers Thanks, but we’re not slaves. If we moms choose not to cook, none of our family has to “let” us. Your target market appreciates the ad, tho!

Others found the outrage to be outrageous.
@stouffers “Oh no boo hoo, this ad is sexist ?”… fool shut up and make my lasagna

@stouffers The only thing this should trigger is hunger, not whiny insecurities.

@Grampynotgrumpy @stouffers What must it be like to be such a pain in the ass that you have to get political about mac and cheese?
— Sonj. (@SvennieNicole) May 11, 2017
@stouffers Great ad. Don’t let all the whiny snowflakes make you apologize for it.
— Russell Stivers (@OGRE660) May 13, 2017
@stouffers This ad popped up in my feed and lmao at the offended responses. Apparently, capitalizing on Mother’s day advertising makes you horrible?
— Naya Merai (@NayaMerai) May 11, 2017
@KaraEliason @stouffers Give it a rest. The world is really a great place when you stop being offended by everything.
— Lee Grillo (@leegrillo67) May 12, 2017
@KaraEliason @stouffers Where did they say only moms cook? Do you have to be the whiny victim sterotype taking offense at everything? Shame on you.
— BlackPilled (@OrwelliAnn_) May 11, 2017
@KaraEliason @stouffers Holy cow. What a waste of energy. Most of us know Mother’s Day is around the corner and understand the ad for what it is and nothing more!
