Kvinnliga bilförare leder till ondska
Ett förslag i Saudi-Arabien att kvinnor kanske skall tillåtas köra bil har skapat vågor av protester:
Conservatives, who believe women should be shielded from strange men, say driving will allow a woman to leave home whenever she pleases and go wherever she wishes. Some say it will present her with opportunities to violate Islamic law, such as exposing her eyes while driving or interacting with strange men, like police officers or mechanics.”Driving by women leads to evil,” Munir al-Shahrani wrote in a letter to the editor of the Al-Watan daily. ”Can you imagine what it will be like if her car broke down? She would have to seek help from men.”
Det hela innebär ändå bara att utreda om kvinnor skall få köra bil. I så fall med restriktionen att de bara får köra på motorvägar om de tar med sig en manlig övervakare.
