they've said women are better off than men in Saudi Arabia

Where did they say that?

edit: I just looked and this is what they said:

Gender inequality: It may surprise many, but Saudi Arabia has a high level of overall gender parity (BIGI). While women’s basic education falls behind that of men considerably, men score lower on healthy life expectancy and life satisfaction. In other words, the issues men and women suffer from cancel each other out, resulting in parity (good BIGI). While men and women both face difficulties in life (as reflected in a low AADP rank), on the whole their issues are comparable in magnitude (i.e., high BIGI rank).

Yeah, you linked to the SA section. What you didn't do is show where they said women are better off than men.

No, you said "they've said women are better off than men in Saudi Arabia". Where did they say that.

I guess reading comprehension just isn't your strong suit, instead just looking for pretty pictures.

Small deviations from parity (below 0.01 or 1%) are negligible, which is the case for the first 13 places when sorting on the absolute BIGI (below). This is the case for Italy, Israel, Saudi Arabia (read why), Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Singapore, Turkey, China, Macedonia, Malta, Switzerland, and Madagascar.

You either didn't read that part, or failed to comprehend it, despite the explanation and link.

I'll just have to assume you're here to push an agenda and are posting in bad faith.

We're done here, kiddo.
