Women's Rights In Saudi Arabia Apparently the Saudis want us to think they actually grant rights to their women. I guess my favorite part of the article is where they try to compare the compulsory wearing of abyas to the habits nuns wear."It is clear that religious codes of dress for nuns who cover from head to foot is respected in the West while the abaya worn by Muslim women is regarded as oppressive," she said.
I guess the fact that it's a personal choice to become a nun and adhere to the strictures of that lifestyle makes no difference. Not to mention many nuns don't even wear the habits anymore.She added that the Western media should deal with the problems of women’s rights in their own culture before criticizing others.
What? You mean I have to worry about being beat just for accidentally exposing the bare flesh of my arm? Women's rights in Western culture are far more advanced than anywhere else in my opinion.
