Quote:The topic is "what the G-20 should do concerning the Saudi terrible locking of female activists behind bars, torturing them and even raping them.
And that's exactly what Saudi culture is. How can we discuss the treatment of these activists without discussing the culture that is responsible for that treatment?
Discussing Saudi culture in the context of these imprisoned women IS on topic, it's EXACTLY on topic - to discuss one without the other would be incoherent. Asking what the G20 can or should do about the treatment of these women is precisely the same as asking what the G20 can or should do to change Saudi culture.
