O, yeah forgot about A.Classics 
Logically , World title should be the main one 
No other sports have internal rivalry like bodybuilding .

I hear you, but you can't expect that all countries share the same values. Just like western cultures mock about Islamic cultures, so do they(!)
BTW, how many women visit a BB only show anyway? Most of them come for the bermuda faggs or the figure ladies.

Only once the Inner Schmoe prevails over the Fanatic at heart and the Goatherder within will they experience true democracy.

That would def suck, but they prob do not know better in these cultures, most things are separated for men & women.
At least Mr Santonja is still lifting.

Women can attend bodybuilding events in Bahrain. I've been to events and seen women in attendance. Bahrain has a female judge and head of the IFBB Asian Womens Commission (Dr. Reem), who is also a competitor. (She competes outside the region) Still not ready for women's shows around here.
