We landed two rovers on Mars before medical science discovered the clitoris.
The Mars Exploration Rovers landed on Mars in January 2004.
An accurate anatomical model of the clitoris was not created until 2005.

The robotic Sojourner rover reached Mars on July 4, 1997 as part of the Mars Pathfinder mission.

Now this is some fake news

Lmao, how is this ‘fake news’?
The Mars Exploration Rovers landed in 2004 and the earlier Mars mission I forgot is helpfully linked in a comment by someone else below.
In 2005 Australian urologist Helen O’Connell was the first to fully anatomically map the clitoris
Or is this accusation of ‘fake news’ just you objecting to my comedic language about the historically male dominated field of medical science ‘discovering’ the clit?

“Medical science” didn’t only just discover the clitoris 20 years ago… Fairly accurate descriptions of the structure of the clitoris go back to the 1840s. It’s the textbooks used for medical training that were omitting the already known structures to the detriment of medical professionals and healthcare.
Never mind that discovering and accurately mapping something are very different. That’s like saying we hadn’t discovered the moon until we saw the other side.
It’s a funny meme that scientists couldn’t find the clit, but it detracts from the actual sexism that was preventing the known science from being taught properly to doctors.

My wording was for comedic affect. I agree with you.

I love the part in the article you linked about Ben Shapiro, really made me chuckle. wonder how he felt after believing that lie.

I yearn for the day that an astronaut finally sets foot on the far side of the clitoris
