The organizers of a women's running race in Spain apologized Monday after the winner was offered a food processor to take home, sparking accusations of sexism. The 7-kilometer Carrera de la Mujer women's race issued a statement on Twitter saying it hadn't considered the kitchen appliance -- donated by a sponsor -- would have sexist implications.

The food processor controversy went largely unnoticed until Ángela Rodríguez Pam, Spain's secretary of state for equality, tweeted that the winner had received a food processor and others were given 0% fat products.
"If you win: housewife and if not at least you'll lose weight," Rodríguez Pam tweeted.

What?
No washer and dryer?....................
A post-hole digger is appreciated by the modern woman, maybe throw in a digging bar.
Women always like magazines, so give her an AR-15 fully loaded.
LOL. My sister-in-law got a can of Pledge in her Christmas stocking once. The funny party was, she actually wanted it.
“accusations of sexism”
The accusers are sexist for assuming that the gift of a food processor would not be appreciated by a man.
I thought international “I’m A Victim Day” was supposed to be next week.
The organizers should have offered a beard trimmer, wife beater undershirt, and a gross of condoms to the winner.
Better than cold cuts and bread so she can make hubby a sandwich
Yeah, because only women use food processors.
For Leftists, any day that ends in a ‘y’ is “I’m A Victim Day.”
A Kitchenaid J45 mixer would be a great prize for anyone.
This is a tiny race (just a bit more than a standard 5k here) and I’m sure many people walked it and maybe were just starting out in their fitness regimen. They wouldn’t have eaten or drunk anything other than vegetables and “diet foods,” and having another blender never hurts! We’ve never given anything that much fun at our 5ks. So why stir up trouble?
One of the reasons is that a Spanish women’s athletic group (cyclists) came out and opposed having men take over women’s sports.
Spain is very left wing now (not the people, but the government) so it took courage to do this...and I’m sure they will be punished.
I’m a dude, like to cook, and would welcome a nice food processor. Just sayin’.
I’ve got the bigger 5.5qt lift bowl version, in pewter, with this decal set applied.

One of my to-dos in July when things slow down is to work on pizza doughs. I’ve moved away from the awesome Italian grocery that had great doughs in the refrigerated case.
Is the woman a woman?
0% fat products.
So, high in carbs then?
Runners process calories differently than non-athletes, anyway.
Hell, I’m an old dude and I’d love a free food processor.
Assuming she has a hubby.
Do you wear dresses,too? /s
