It was certainly surprising to learn how many right-wing tro... um, social media commenters on U.S. and Canadian news forums who normally despise women, feminism, activism and anything with even a hint of socialism or the political left turn out to actually harbour deep concerns about women's rights in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Pakistan, sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America... in fact pretty much anywhere except the United States this weekend.

Who'd have guessed?
