In Saudi Arabia, women have not been allowed to vote or drive, and they are forbidden to travel, work, marry, divorce or check into a public hospital without male permission.

Well, good news! Apparently, the driving ban for women has suddenly been lifted.

And a major h/t to the JewishPress.com for their exclusive photo of this momentous event. 🙂

    Getting in the car isn’t their only problem . . . once in the car, WHERE can they go!? Not to work, that’s for sure:

    Working women should be molested: Saudi writer ( http://bit.ly/12NNqTW )

    “Abu Dhabi: A Saudi writer has urged his Twitter followers to sexually molest women
    hired to work as cashiers in big grocery stores, the latest backlash from conservatives
    who want to roll back limited social and economic reforms launched in Saudi Arabia.”

    My suggestion would be that they consider a leisurely afternoon of “vehicular homicide” . . . You know something like a friendly contest of “chase the cleric”. The woman who runs over the most clerics wins a lovely pastel peek-a-boo ankle length burka.
