Saudi Arabian Women's Conference... With Not A Female In Sight

An image of a conference in Saudi Arabia on the topic of “women in society” – with not a single female present - has gone viral.

The picture features row upon row of men in traditional headscarves and white thobes. A single Westerner in a flannel shirt is the only person breaking up an otherwise uniform sea of what appear to be Arab men.

We traced the picture back to Beladalorb.com, which says it was published in Saudi newspaper Okaz last year.

The conference was reportedly held at the University of Qassim and was apparently attended by representatives of 15 countries.

1. Kinda like the US Congress hearing on birth control--with NO women.

3. That should have done it

The DU software chokes on certain characters in URLs, like (I think) the comma.

2. Give them the benefit of the doubt

There might have been a couple of heads of women, or women's hands...

4. Just like the Vatican

and Congress. Their committees on women are always all male.

6. Mind-boggling.

There aren't even words for the disrespect, idiocy and plain old derp this represents.

8. The RCC's Synod on the Family

Only old, unmarried, celibate men without spouses and children need apply.

9. Saudi Arabia = Texas with different costumes.

Religion, oil, and feudalism uber alles.
