Ya, the reflection in he glasses revealing she's the photog and taking selfies while driving really has me wanting to help women be able to drive in KSA.

Good for her. The more Saudi women civilly-disobey the sooner they'll break the back of this ignoramoid crap.

I think the "trouble" is in the law. It's a stupid law, it needs to went, and she's doing her part. Good on 'er.

If they don't want women to drive.

Why should it be anyone else's business? .....

Don't be idiotic.

But being a woman is.

 

[Sunni Man]

The vast majority of the world's population, both men and women, have never driven a car. ......

 

[Judicial review]

Women should be banned from driving world wide. Especially Indian woman. Holy shit are they fucking horrible.

-- which could not possibly be more irrelevant. The bottom line is, there's no physical or physiological reason women as a group would be any kind of threat to automobile traffic.

However if you watch road rage for any length of time, you could easily come to that conclusion about men. So there's that.

-- which could not possibly be more irrelevant. The bottom line is, there's no physical or physiological reason women as a group would be any kind of threat to automobile traffic.

Again, their country, their culture, their laws.

Western know-it-all busy bodies need to butt out of their business. ......

Again, it's our species. Let's go over what that means.

Laws of Saudi Arabia (or Bangladesh or Iceland or Argentina) are no business of ours, because we don't live in those countries.

Women of Saudi Arabia (or anywhere else) are part of our species.

Laws differ from one place to another. Humans do not. But hey, feel free to make the case for a prohibition on driving based on what's hanging between your legs.

Moreover, nobody's "butting in" from here to change the knuckledragger laws of SA. Not even the woman in the story. She's defying it.

And good for her for that courage. You go girl, full throttle.

 

[Sunni Man]

A year in prison and 20 lashes will cure her defiant ways. .....

What about the next one? And then the one after that and the one after that and the one after that and the one after that and the one after that and the one after that and the one after that and the one after that and the one after that and the one after that and the one after that? How many prisons ya got?

Perhaps Lujain Hathloul is Arabic for "Rosa Parks".

 

[Sunni Man]

Never happen........
