Sluts Behind The Wheel!
From BBC News, by Sebastian Usher, "End of virginity' if women drive, Saudi cleric warns":
The report was prepared for Saudi Arabia's legislative assembly, the Shura Council, by a well-known conservative academic....As part of his careful reform process, King Abdullah has allowed suggestions to surface that the ban might be reviewed.
This has angered the conservative religious elite - a key power base for any Saudi ruler.
Now, one of their number - well-known academic Kamal Subhi - has presented a new report to the country's legislative assembly, the Shura.
The aim was to get it to drop plans to reconsider the ban.
The report contains graphic warnings that letting women drive would increase prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce.
The clerics should just make sure that the women don't drive a stick.
or else they'll become muff-diving, porn-star hooker divorcees...

"The report contains graphic warnings that letting women drive would increase prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce."
First, I know almost nothing about Saudi society.
Second, I suspect all of these things will increase, just as predicted.
What do you think will happen when you give 50% of the population, the female portion, the ability to drive and escape the fundamentalists?

Well, I suspect that close to 100 percent of non-virgins, prostitutes, divorcees and homosexuals have driven a car at one time or another. So perhaps the gentleman has a point. On the other hand most of these people have drunk water, too,, so who knows what really causes these behaviors.

Jerry might be on to something. If all the women get divorced and leave, that leaves imported prostitutes, porn and homosexuality for the men.

I am pretty sure that a man's ability to marry more than 1 women or even see what one looks like in Saudi Arabia has led to more homosexual behavior than a woman operating a stick shift would ever.

It's like smoking pot. I tell people that pot doesn't work for me -- it makes me tired and starving and (maybe borrowing from Matt Welch) makes me feel like somebody clocked me over the head with a frying pan -- and they always say, "Not my pot." Yes, your pot, his pot, her pot. Hate pot.
Regarding stickshifts, about every man in my life where there's been access to a car with a stickshift has told me he could teach me to drive one. Nope. Sorry, boys!

Personally, I refuse to believe there's something you can't do.

Well, boys. Let her have a driver's license. But then Which one of you clean-living, faithful religious rump-monkeys is going to give her a car? Inshallah.

Must be one heck of a driving test to do all that.
