going through
7 days today, i found
this completely outrageous article; its about women drivers in Saudia, and their continued non-existance. i mean its fine if they dont want women on their roads because ofcourse all problems are caused by women as well as every road accident, but there is this one sentence which takes the cake. it is a statement by the Interior Minister Prince
Nayef bin Abdul Aziz
"This is a secondary issue and it is not on our
priorities (list)...I urge everyone to forget about it...
Such an issue is decided in acccordance with public interests
and women's dignity"
Now bad driving and all i can put up with, but dignity, seriously what the fuck does the car to do our dignity?? Really what an amazingly brilliant statement!!

LOL, It has nothing to do with womens dignity, its a power trip for the saudi men. It isnt dignifiable for "their" women to go out driving and shopping and working on their own, they should be dependant.
thts true, but dont you think they could've come up with a less stupid way to ensure their dominance and dependancy. not letting women drive seems like a complete waste of power and energy!
