Though I agree that money talks is probably the main reason for competing there, and that it is questionable to race there because of those views on women, one can also flip this argument; since it is a nation with such a backward rhetoric, wouldn't that nation also be in dire need of changing its perception? And being so, isn't Extreme E actually doing something good in that regard?
