Gheelle.T Posted February 7, 2013 I don't understand what the Saudi government and the Saudi male society in general are so afraid of. Why cant women drive or go out on their own? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nuune Posted February 7, 2013 ^^ Not the country that is crazy, but its rulers, kala saar, waligaa yeysan arrimaha iskaga kaa kala dhax qasmin adeer, the country is beautiful.

Well lets look this from another whole angle, when did the ban started that no women should be allowed to drive, and why, to my knowledge to this subject is that, 2 decades ago or so, Saudi women used to drive, at one point, an incident happened that outraged women, and the result was dozens of women protested while driving their cars through the highways, markets, and neighborhoods, this caused the death and injuries of many people. After that, the government BANNED women to drive. On the other hand, the Somali story behind this banning is that, Saudi women if allowed to drive cars will cause more injuries and accidents not because they are protesting but because they are busy with MARSHADA!!

Gheelle.T Posted February 7, 2013 lol@NG, Granted that there is cultural sensitivity with asking an Arab man the names of his womenfolks, but in the Somali culture, it all depends the context in which or how the question arises. For example, if I were discussing with someone I know about something related to our families, and this question comes, then I will just tell him the name. I am not a/an Saudi/Arab, so answering that question will not be an offensive to me or my family. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted February 7, 2013 They allow their princesses to drive in certain parts of Riyadh and expat women to drive in compounds. So the powers that be seem a lttle confused about their values. If it is true that the is a nation wide lift on the ban --- then it's a good start, even with the silly 35+ age requirement which does nothing for most of the working women and those with children in school... but it's a start.

Alpha Blondy Posted February 7, 2013 its a little ridiculous when a country is considered to be ''modern'' because its women are allowed to drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wyre Posted February 7, 2013 few years back women were not allowed to work on hyper markets, then they allowed for those older than 30 and she can serve only female, then an 18 year old girl is serving both male and female, this will be next, after few months you'll underage girls driving till the morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
