The Most Unfair Countries to Women in the World: Why you can't trust any of those Western rankings

I have never seen a Western (governmental or private, conservative or liberal) ranking of countries using different criteria that I trusted.  In fact, I always look at them to confirm my suspicions that they are unreliable.  There are political considerations employed in all those ranking, without exception.  Look at this one on "The most Unfair Countries to Women".  1) Who with his/her right mind would believe that Syria ranks behind Saudi Arabia on women's right and status? Who but a propagandist?  2) Notice that this silly ranking lists Saudi Arabia as having "a parliament".  I kid you not.  The rest is trash.  (thanks Saad)
