Saudi Arabia's attitude to women getting worse

Saudi women going to the Starbucks café in Riyadh were surprised to find a board at the door asking them to keep out.

The notice, in Arabic as well as English, reads, “Please no entry for ladies, only send your driver to order. Thank you.”

That's awful - one of the reasons why I wouldn't want to go there - not until their position on human/equal rights changes.

You would have a bit of trouble getting in Azz.

Quite right too, Women are getting in everywhere. Time someone put their foot down.


Mind you this was taken in Thailand so she might not be quite the lady she seems.


Anyway didn't the west fight a war to keep the world safe for feudalism?
