What's the problem? It's the ultimate in political correctness to say "Only those who already agree with us are allowed to talk!"

The POINT of the U.N. is for everyone - who doesn't already agree - to come to the table and talk.

AND the same people who would ban Saudi Arabia from the table for being misogynist would also ban Christians who don't agree with, say, Abortion or only support Moral Marriages.

The only way for EVERYBODY to talk - is to let EVERYBODY talk.

It seems to have Saudia Arabia the country to speak about women's rights, when in fact, SA does not allow their women to talk or to drive or to do anything without a male by them. How can they "Speak" for women's rights when their own women do not have rights?

The Geneva-based human rights group UN Watch condemned the U.N.’s election of Saudi Arabia, “the world’s most misogynistic regime,” to a 2018-2022 term on its Commission on the Status of Women, the U.N. agency “exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women.”

“Electing Saudi Arabia to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch. “It’s absurd — and morally reprehensible.”

“This is a black day for women’s rights, and for all human rights,” said Neuer.
