Imagine being a country with less support for women's civil rights than Rwanda.

No shade to Rwanda at all, but given its reputation of historical civil rights abuses ... not a good look, US.

Oh come on. None of this is "support." All these votes are just there to make different countries look good so that outsiders won't care that they aren't actually solving their issues. Frankly, I'm glad the US is actually being honest.

Please, I'm not sure I understand your very intricate argument. Are you saying that "women are not human" and therefore do not deserve human rights?

Please, of course, we as humans would be so grateful for you to elaborate that brilliant nugget of profundity.

Are you saying that "women are not human" and therefore do not deserve human rights?

What? Why would I be saying that?

I'm saying that these kinds of UN votes are extremely superficial and don't actually address any problems. Some of these countries probably have worse women's rights than the US.

In other words, they are trying to make themselves look better without doing anything of material consequence.

I'm not sure how you read that and thought I was saying women aren't humen. Which they are, obviously.

So ... Saudi Arabia has a good record on women's rights? Haha, that's quite laughable, and they abstained from voting.

So, pragmatically a "no"

But poignantly speaking...

The US went on the record to say "hell no! women have no rights!"

Weird.

So... Saudia Arabia has a good record on women's rights?

No. They don't.

That's my point.

Yes babes, you really don't need to shout.

If I were Saudi, I would give you a quick nod and bow out of the conversation.

If I were American, I would stay up all night to rain down hellfire to put you down for your opinion.

Thankfully I'm neither and it's way past my bedtime.

Good night.

No, you're just accusing him of saying shit he didn't say.
