Bunch of invincibles

I love reading. Enough said. The first time i read Princess , i was totally disgusted with the immaturities that was on parade. These women are deprived of their rights. Normal rights. Sometimes it makes me wonder , it's a great surprise that Saudi women are allowed to breathe.. and i wont be surprised if one day , the man in their country pass them an oxygen mask , such that limiting the breathing hour. Honestly.Here's an excerpt

[They] are forbidden to drive, forbidden to travel without permission, forbidden to stay alone at a hotel without permission, forbidden to name their own children without [a man's] consent... forbidden to take out a passport without permission... forbidden to leave their homes without permission... forbidden to take a job without permission... forbidden to change the color of their abayas, forbidden to go to school or to the university without permission... forbidden to purchase shares or to open to a [bank] account in their children's name without permission. "[A woman] is not allowed to expose her face in some cities of the kingdom...[She] is not allowed to marry without permission...not allowed to stay married if [one of] her male relatives decides that her husband's [tribal] lineage is inferior to hers...not allowed to sue for divorce without apologizing and paying a fine, not allowed to keep her children after the divorce, unless she gets permission...not allowed to hold a senior position in the private or public sectors, not allowed to vote or run for office...not allowed to travel alone with a chauffeur... not allowed to annoy her husband, and finally, a woman's voice is considered [a form of] defilement, and she is forbidden to speak in public, so that her affairs will remain shrouded in secrecy.

I simply fail to see the reason how a nation has managed to come up with such a dehumanizing view on women. what gave anyone the rights to evoke the rights of another? May it be the ruler. I strongly believe that the religion did not oppress their rights , but it's actually another being that takes pride on being the dominant sex. Men suppressed their rights , culture has oppressed their voices and besides living in constant fear..i wonder what is going on behind those veils. The veil covers you, not your brains. Do something.
