    Read "Princess - a life behind the veil" and then see what you think of the Saudis. They are pigs.

    They don't even let woman drive.

    Well, the World Economic Forum ranked Saudi Arabia near the bottom in its 2015 Global Gender Gap Index, with the country falling at 134 out of 145 countries. And it was only in December 2015 that Saudi women finally got the right to vote and run for office—and even then only in municipal elections.

    Saudis still expect women in public to wear long robes and head scarves. Unrelated men and women don't normally mix, which has effectively limited the industries that will accept female workers.
