[pause for laughter].
Anyway the Guardian has published this article about by a Saudi man about how women in the kingdom don't really want to be allowed to drive because... well I didn't really follow the line of reasoning. I'm just too flabbergasted that a mainstream paper that has been publishing countless articles suggesting that western society is insanely misogynistic recently would actually publish something like this.
Sample quote after surveying female students:
I offered them anonymity in their answers, but even so, some wanted to be recognized.Exactly how they could be recognised while wearing sacks over their heads wasn't explained.

THE CiF commenters are giving the writer a good shellacking.
Best comment is from Victoriatheoldgoth, who says: "The writer of this article seems to think equality and basic human rights are a 'western' invention. Well, the car is a 'western' invention, so maybe, by the writer's logic, the men of his country should stop driving it, and stop enjoying all that money for the oil which, without all sorts of 'western' inventions, would be worth very little?"

Robert- yeah they do seem to pick and choose which parts of Western culture they embrace and which they shun.
