To be fair even men dont vote in Vatican City. So I'm glad to finally see the number hit 100%!

@freemo wow women can vote in Saudi Arabia?! They must be really happy with that!

@jasper I dunno can they? the source isnt scholarly but it is sourced.

@freemo it's concerned that women can't vote in Saudi Arabia. Which it's openly a monarchy, a highly repressive one at that.

Similarly it implies that countries like North Korea are democracies.. Even more strongly by adding "except vatican city"..

It's "more women drone pilots!"-type harmful imho. You can't tunnel do vision like that and do a good job. But I can't trace the image back to womensuffrage.org/ , or it could be some mistake so...

@jasper This image is over 4 months old, I dont remember anymore where I got it from sorry.

@jasper So I just checked and according to Wikipedia women can, in fact, vote; since 2011 it seems:

In September 2011, King Abdullah granted women the right to vote and stand in the 2015 municipal elections.

@freemo are you forgetting that the College of Cardinals elects the Pope?
@freemo apparently so. Not that it matters much anyway. I mean, remember, if voting could actually change anything, the government wouldn't let you do it! That goes doubly for places like North Korea or Eritrea. Women are allowed to vote so long as the ballot is for the incumbent Supreme Leader!

@hector The image was posted over 4 months ago though, why the sudden interest?
