"Some said that it was inappropriate in Saudi culture for women to drive, or that male drivers would not know how to handle women in cars next to them. Others argued that allowing women to drive would lead to promiscuity and the collapse of the Saudi family. One cleric claimed — with no evidence — that driving harmed women's ovaries."


Makes me wonder, can you guys relax if the SO is driving and you're the passenger?

But women in America have it so hard, they only make 80% of what men make!

I always do the driving when we go together. Perhaps a bit chauvinistic, but I prefer to think of it as chivalrous. I drive and when we get where we are going my wife sits in her seat until I get around and open her door for her. THAT took some training, she used to just bust on out and be on her way before I could even get around the front of the truck.

Worked out pretty well for us in the West, not sure why they are concerned.
