To celebrate Women’s History Month, Ford has released a humorous video about a fictitious new Explorer special edition called the “Men’s Only Edition.”
Releasing a special edition for men amid a celebration of the fairer sex may seem odd, but the tongue-in-cheek video quickly makes sense. “For the first time ever, we’ve completely reimagined the automobile,” says a velvety smooth man’s voice. “Introducing the Men’s Only Ford Explorer, with no windshield wipers, no heater, no turn signals, wait: no rearview mirror [and] no GPS, are you kidding? Ah, it’s missing all the parts created by women.”
Sadly, even in 2023, the automotive world is still considered a boys’ club, and it’s still a challenge for women to break into the industry despite the incredible gifts and talents they may possess. Despite this, many are pioneers and change the motoring landscape for the better.
