Women didn’t invent wi-Fi.
Probably also didn’t invent chocolate chip cookies. But hey, facts are inconvenient for the culture warriors.

That is not even true. Wi-Fi was invented by John O’Sullivan and his colleagues Terence Percival, Graham Daniels, Diet Ostry, and John Deane... all men.
What they're probably referring to is a precursor of Wi-fi which was invented by Hedy (not Hedley) Lamarr. She invented a spread spectrum system to help guide torpedos and it is considered a precursor to Wi-Fi.
But that's probably either a very enthusiastic copy writer or Hasbro trying to draw in a market for yet another new edition of Monopoly.

Lots of groups doing shite like that.
Muslims and Russians remain notorious for claiming they invented everything.

And Muslims claim to have invented the zero. Since binary is made up of zeroes and ones, that gives them a claim to inventing computers.

I find it great that the only seller on Amazon who has Monopoly Socialism is asking, and apparently selling, them for $90+.

I'd still whoop my old lady in this game.

Why can't they make the same?
You know...equality?

Well, this is often true so...

Greeks do this shite. They're notorious for it.
Honestly though, they did invent a lot of things.

Because then Hasbro wouldn't get money from teachers and women's studies types buying copies because "This means something!"
And people that make a hobby of collecting Monopoly games.

Monopoly just released a Socialism version that intentionally bankrupts everyone so I don’t think they’re SJWs.
Oh man, I need to get this for some people I know.
That's brilliant.

Monopoly likes screwing with people. They did the socialist version and the millennial version. They've been pretty equal with their taunting of whoever they can get a rise out of with the game.
Not a bad strategy. Trolling the public is a good way to get your name out there, especially with board games falling off the radar.

Unlike the classic game, women will collect 240 Monopoly bucks when they pass "go," while male players will collect the usual 200. The idea is to create a game where women make more than men, the first game to do so, according to Hasbro.

That's not the only difference, though. Instead of buying property, players will invest in inventions created by women -- things like Wi-Fi and chocolate chip cookies.

Nikolai Tesla talked about it decades before. So did Marconi. A polish inventor named Leonard Danilewicz had the idea in the ‘20’s. Willem Broertjes Patented an invention in the 30’s.
She neither invented WiFi nor spread spectrum frequency hopping. She and her partner invented a very specific application for torpedoes.
People trying to credit her with inventing WiFi is both disingenuous and completely ridiculous.

Your knowledge of inventors is quite impressive, I must say

Are you triggered, OP?

Do the game pieces look like tampons?
