Miss X..

I don't acknowledge Qatar as a rare model for women's rights in the middle East. UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman to name a few have similar women's rights as Qatar does if not better.

We may execulde Saudi when it comes to sole travel and it becomes an exception.
(I am saying this for the sake of the argument although I have my views on sole travel- which is not entirely different from free travel but needs measures)

I agree that West and East in thier entirety is not a perfect comparison, but as you can see we can pick the best eastern country and the worst western country and do a comparison that is not indicative. However, I generalised west and east knowing the deficiency of the comparison and this is why I qualified it with stating 'more or less'.

Now in terms of women's rights:

- Do you agree to my claim that East and West are the same?

- Do you agree that Qatar and Canada or USA are the same? collectively speaking!
