Spot The Difference. Saudi Arabia's IKEA catalog has no women in it.

The photo on the left is a normal IKEA catalog, while the photo on the right is Saudi Arabia's version of the catalog.
Saudi Arabia does not include women in the catalog. IKEA also removed the image of a female designer, featured in their other catalogs, who assisted in designing a line of their home furnishings.
In Saudi Arabia, women could not vote until last year. They also are not allowed to drive. And now they have erased women from their catalogs. They might as well just erase females from their reality.
