I didn't say there wasn't one. I said it exists by choice (of the women). There have been many studies done that suggest that if women would ASK for more, they would GET more. That's why there is the pay gap that there is. Men DO ask for more. If you don't believe me... You are victims blamer big time. I don't "victim blame". But... that aside... how can you call someone a "victim" if they get what they (actually, by their own worded, spoken or written, request) ask for?

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

It was also the Shura Council that took that secret ballot. They don't make laws. They make recommendations. When they decide to discuss something this "big", you can bet they'll do it secretly. Not only were women not allowed to participate in the ballot; neither was anyone else not on the Shura Council. This is a huge step forward for the more progressive in the Kingdom, but no recommendation by the Council is going to suddenly change years of cultural morés. This is going to take time. I'm quite surprised they've made the recommendation so soon. I didn't expect it until after women's right to vote is implemented next year. I don't think I'm missing your point, Richard. I think you believe your Western views should apply everywhere in the world. If they don't, that part of the world is doing it wrong. I couldn't disagree more. It's that simple. Since that wasn't my point, you just verified that you missed it. Heh. As you wish, Richard. As you wish.

Nobody's talking about honor killings. We're talking about driving, and you don't know one damned thing about what "they" like. Nor do you. Ah, but I do - from their mouths - over years.
