Woman rights in Saudi Arabia? I have no sympathy for men of this hostile, undeservedly rich, backward country – why should I care about women? Their women.

That's actually pretty informative. Thanks.

I do find, in both personal interactions and national policies, that philosophy/ethics can be at odds with practical, material considerations. I believe it's better for my inner self to err on the side of compassion... but without my own survival, where is my inner self, hmmm?

It's a shifting, complex balance. Maybe we wouldn't even be here if we didn't have this to figure out...

well said :) And yes - the solution here is not an easy thing. Something out of non-binary ethics.
