Since it was the women in the room with Bill Gates who were applauding, and not foreigner critical of womens' rights in Saudi, perhaps you might like to offer some explanation for their "wild cheering".
Why do you suppose the women "cheered wildly" when he made this statement?
Perhaps it was because these women are happy with their lives?
Perhaps it was because these women are satisified with their job prospects?
People can pontificate all they like from abroad saying that the Saudi women may not have the same rights and opportunities as western women, but deep down they don't mind and they are happy.
But does that honestly seem reasonable when it is the Saudi women who "cheered wildly" at Gates' comment?

Clearly they are NOT happy.
