In Saudi Arabia, there is a legal ban that prevents women from driving. It's absolutely ridiculous, and for a little over a decade, activists in Saudi Arabia have been trying to get the ban lifted. Now, apparently, the Saudi government is issuing a very strong warning to activist for participating in, or being supportive of, the protest against ban.

If you wanted evidence that the United States is backwards and back-handed, realize that Saudi Arabia, despite such human rights abuses, is still considered to be one of our closest allies.

"allies" The US government can call them whatever they want, I won't believe them for a minute.

And anyone have a guess as to what would happen if a guy put on a burka and drove around until he got pulled over only to flip it up in an epic troll moment to reveal he was a dude?

Yeah he'd disappear lol.
