  • Driving, saudi Arabia

‘Scholars’ at Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council have warned that allowing women to drive would bring about a surge in ‘corruption’, ‘homosexuality’ and ‘divorce’. It would also be the ‘end of virginity’.

Well then, drive they must.

My dad gave me my first driving lesson. Now I feel kinda dirty.

Of course, requiring women to cover their eyes would certainly remove any need to ban driving, It would happen automatically.

Well, virginity is a very problematic and in my opinion deeply misogynistic social construct anyway. Freedom of movement, gay rights and the end of a patriarchal dogma then. What's not to like about this?!

I think they just haven't updated their thinking since what people drove was a horse... I can't see the link between *women* driving and homosexuality, though, since usually theocrats are focussed on male homosexuality...

Are drivers seats in Saudi vehicles that intrusive and uncomfortable?

Oh noes! That will completely destroy the virgin trafficking trade! I can't think of any other reason I should care.
