Actually, if you're a woman, there are *much* suckier rulers to live
under. (Or die under.) Saudi Arabia, for a biggie. Iraqi women enjoy
greater freedoms than women in almost all other Mideast countries. So
if I were a woman in Iraq and knew that, sure it would suck, but many
other options would suck a lot worse.
