commenting this video was not me attacking islam as i dont think women not being able to drive in saudi has anything to do with islam..i dont care what religion people are in countries i care about equal rights

so please stop trying to argue with me because i didnt agree with what you said about western women

[tebeth05]

it doesnt matter if saudi women wear lots of jewelry, fine clothes, or have personal drivers. what matters is the women who want to be independant cant because men are afraid of what change it could bring. if a women wants to drive, let her. if she wants a job, she shouldnt need a mans permission. she is her own person and not someones property. nobody owns her. if she chooses to travel she shouldnt need a letter allowing her out of her own country. she should be able to be/do whatever she wants

@zexammar easy, you have strong incentives to not report rapes. It is a crime to let yourself being raped.

[zexammar]

the western world judging Saudi Arabia while they're sitting in their homes , you guys know nothing about Saudi Arabia , u should at least be here so you can judge .

the Saudi women are happy and they love their lives , so shut up and mind your own business

Saudi Arabia has the lowest percentage of raping or any other sexual crime

i have so many Europeans and Americans teacher and they all agreed that they want their kid to grow up here in Saudi Arabia because it's the safest country.

Here is another observation: the Saudi men in this video wear headdresses and full body covering. (She meanwhile had 3/5 of her head uncovered by her "hijab.")

This differs from the "oppressive" requirement that women's heads and bodies be covered how?

Think.

Certainly men have more power in that society, but it does not seem to be all one sided.

This woman says she suffers discrimination for being a woman.

In Saudi restaurants there are 2 sections: "men" and "family." Women and mixed groups sit in the "family" section. So who here is really being discriminated against? Clearly it is the men, who are being segregated away from women and families.

So it seems there is plenty of discrimination to go around.

@superleo30317 Nobody has any "political rights" in Saudi Arabia except the king and his family. As the country's name implies, the whole country is the personal property of the Sa'ud family. This is a commonly overlooked point every time the issue of "oppression" of Saudi women is brought up. Yes women have no political rights; neither do most Saudi men.
