I didn't know this, but Saudi women aren't allowed to drive. I don't know why, but I'd imagine it'd have something to do with the medieval religious views of men in that country and not letting women have any power. Not that I can see how driving is giving women power.
Anyway, as with marriage equality, the religious nut bags over there are going slightly bananas at the thought of women getting behind the wheel, and as with marriage equality the reasons for not letting women drive are patently stupid and nonsensical. Women there have been signing some petition like mad to be able to drive, prompting this reaction from "a judicial and psychological consultant."
Saudi women seeking to challenge a de facto ban on driving should realize that this could affect their ovaries and pelvises, Sheikh Saleh bin Saad al-Luhaydan, a judicial and psychological consultant to the Gulf Psychological Association, told Saudi news website sabq.org.Needless to say he's looking pretty stupid at the moment.
Driving “could have a reverse physiological impact. Physiological science and functional medicine studied this side [and found] that it automatically affects ovaries and rolls up the pelvis. This is why we find for women who continuously drive cars their children are born with clinical disorders of varying degrees,” Sheikh al-Luhaydan said. more
