The easier example involves comparing a single, privately-owned British newspaper in a democracy to all newspapers in an absolute monarchy? ==This difference in the volume of discourse does not indicate that women have it worse in London than in Riyadh.== This is a strawman, as nobody has ever claimed they have it worse. However, the wage gap in England effects women in London directly and they have the ability to change it through voting. Do you see how that is different from state-sponsored/controlled media in a country that makes no attempt at equality? ==And observing this simple fact does not indicate approval of the situation in either country.== But using one country's scenario in an attempt to diminish the plight of people in another is implying that we have to choose one. It's a false choice because we can work on improving Saudi Arabia from the outside while actively voting for improvement in England from within. To clarify, I don't live in England, but this applies to any comparison of what another country is doing (specifically, a non-democratic country).
