    I don’t doubt that Israel is backsliding on women’s rights, but this “Women, Peace and Security Index” has got to be bullshit.

    They have a bunch of parameters that try to capture the situation of women, and I’m sure that can be useful to gauge which way the wind is blowing for a single country, but it gets kinda ridiculous when Saudi Arabia gets a much better score than Turkey, China, India, Brazil, Iran, and Mexico.

    Just a reminder that women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia until 2018.

      63-million women genocided ( when newborn, all the way to husbands burning-to-death their wives, from what I’d read in other stuff, through past years ) proves that India isn’t protecting women’s lives…

      There’s another article here on lemmy.world/c/world that was posted recently, about how now women are allowed to drive, in Saudi Arabia, but the regime is exterminating criticism, through executions.

      The truth is hidden-in-the-murk, unfortunately…

        If the experts claimed an helicopter crash is perfectly normal and a better outcome than a normal landing, I don’t need to know to pilot to be able to tell they’re full of bullshit.
