I am a bit confused about it being treated as a socially relevant issue - it definitely was a relevant socially sensitive issue back then, but that was 100 years ago, and now it's not an active issue - as far as I understand, women can vote in currently literally every country in the world which has voting; there are some countries where nobody can vote, but that's still treating women equally with respect to voting rights.

Women in Saudi Arabia only got the right to vote* as of 2015, which is recent enough that there's probably still a significant fraction of the population that isn't enthusiastically on board.

* In local elections; they don't have national elections.

Saudi Arabia is 0.018% of Facebook audience. Factoring in language differences and content geofencing and it'll be about a handful Saudis likely to see an ad for the game - all of them probably visiting the US.

So bring it home for us. How do 6 Saudis (of unknown opinion on voting)

transform a longstanding reality - that women vote

into an issue so sensitive that banning game ads is a reasonable response?

I'm certainly not expressing the opinion that the policy is reasonable.
