Saudi misogyny

Saudi Arabia “allows” unaccompanied women into a football match, and we are supposed to give them a round of applause for it?

Both the West and Mother Russia have bombed back into the Stone Age, invaded and dismembered a multitude of ‘failed states’ for far less than their levels of Neanderthal misogyny. Yet the same people who reach for the smelling salts at every Trump sexism employ a double standard of silence when it comes to the House of Saud.

With friends like the Saudis, who needs enemies? Yet four decades later, little has changed since world leaders shamefully grovelled apologies for the documentary Death Of A Princess.
