Chinese GWM Ballet Car electric Beetle slammed as 'blatantly sexist'An electric car offered by an emerging car company that claims to "love women more" has been derided as "blatantly sexist", "patronising" and "misogynistic". Great Wall Motors' Ora Ballet Cat is a battery-powered machine inspired by the classic Volkswagen Beetle. Ora took an interesting approach to the new model by developing a "Punk Cat" for men, and the "Ballet Cat" for women. Car Scoops, a popular automotive website, said that "nothing we can think of is as blatantly sexist as the Ora Ballet Cat". But there is a chance GWM's Ora marque could make it to Australia, with the brand previously declaring an interest in the smaller, Mini-like "Good Cat" electric car.
