Women and the Olympics

I have long been tempted by motions which would basically read "THW sanction countries which practised gender apartheid" but gut instinct tells me that you'd get one good room and 9 rooms which dissolved into model bashing.

We - rightly- condemned South Africa for the state's oppression of the non-whites living there. Why on earth do we find the situation in KSA more acceptable? Is the oppression of women so commonplace that it does not merit comment?

This alternative, of banning countries from the Olympics if they did not let women compete, is far more attractive.
