I love Progressive Saudi Arabia - "Girls" Council - All Men
March 14, 2017 at 3:16 pm
Just have to love how progressive Saudi Arabia is becoming.
They've launched a new council to help empower girls and women. But the women weren't allowed in the room.

Just like Trump with his abortion policy - not a woman in sight...
What a bunch of apes

"In Saudi Arabia, a state policy of gender segregation between unrelated men and women is rigorously enforced."
And having an all women's council is unthinkable, I guess.

I would say "at least they're trying", but I'm not quite sure that they are.

I don't want to laugh because it's fucking appalling, but damn it actually is funny

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Well, a bunch of "men" in dresses count as women, right?

Maybe they are actually in a position, mentally (?) where they don't think women can give a decent exposition on birth control?
I sure as hell don't understand it.
They should keep their noses out of women''s vulvas, except for maybe the occasional nose run.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
