Woman Driver in Saudi Arabia Condemned to Ten Lashes

Shortly after promising women the right to vote, Saudi Arabia cracks down on women's freedoms by condemning a woman to ten lashes for disobeying the religious ban on driving. Imo, the whole allowing them to vote/present themselves as candidates in municipal elections is just for show; a vain gesticulation to appease the west while continuing to keep women under lock and key. If you can't go anywhere or do anything as a women without a male relative's permission, what makes you think you'll be allowed to get anywhere in politics, unless as a parrot for the patriarchal status quo?

Anywhere else in the world a man would be arrested for treating a woman like a prisoner, but we're supposed to respect their culture and beliefs. Brainwashing women into believing they're better off as ignorant property isn't going to work forever.

Because they're an ally. Same thing with Iraq when Saddam was gassing his own people...while we funded him.
