Ford’s ‘Men’s Only Edition’ Explorer Doesn’t Have Car Features Developed By Women

Ford’s fictitious ‘Men’s Only Edition’ Explorer sports utility vehicle (SUV) doesn’t have car features developed by women. 

Lacks essential features developed by women, including heaters, windshield wipers, turn signals, brake lights, and GPS.

Celebrates International Women’s Day, Women’s History Month and many innovations developed by women engineers and inventors.

Among women who helped developed groundbreaking features are Hedy Lamarr, Florence Lawrence, Dorothy Levitt, Dorothée Pullinger, and Gladys West. 

Ford has unveiled a imaginary “Ford Explorer Men’s Only Edition”, a completely reimagined vehicle without many of the essential features developed by women, including heaters, windshield wipers, turn signals, brake lights, and GPS.

As expected, this non-roadworthy model lacking most of today’s basic car features will never make it to production, but celebrates International Women’s Day, Women’s History Month and the many innovations of the past and present developed by women engineers and inventors.
