Debunking The Ford Explorer Without Parts 'Created by Women'

Someone on Twitter summed it up best - "so, a woman's automobile would just be a seat belt, windshield wipers and turn signals"?

The way that title was written, I had to go to the comments to understand what they meant. I didn't know what a 'car without parts' was, even if it was "invented by women"; and is that supposed to be a good thing? I thought maybe they meant without moving parts - which would be hard on the wheels, ngl.

Turns out they meant:

without "parts invented by women".

I work in IT engineering and the "Heddy Lamarr invented WiFi" myth gets passed around every "Women's History Month" and is shot down every time...and people scream "misogyny!!" every time.

I think the worst part about this Ford promotion is not how they've inaccurately attributed "inventions" to women for marketing purposes, but how thoroughly and patronizingly they've undersold the actual contributions of women in the industry.

It's like Ford is saying "Hey did you know women build cars?" and everyone is responding "Yes...didn't you?"

"Invented by gender" for me, is an insult to the inventor: reducing their achievements and works, to their gender.

His voice is very annoying, and personally I’m all for celebrating some of there developments, but the way ford did it was terrible
