Saudi Womens Rights

this all started from someone saying that saudi women are useless, and that person was a saudi, so this is wat a saudi woman said in return:

Saudi society is based on masters and slaves, or, to be more precise, masters and maids because the masters are the men and the maids are the women.

The ownership of a woman is passed on from one man to another. Ownership of the woman is passed on from the father or the brother to another man, the husband. The woman is merely a piece of merchandise, which is passed over to someone else - her guardian.

How do you recognize a maid or a slave? The decision making is out of their hands. All the decisions are made by the master. Women today re not allowed to make any kind of decision - not about work, marriage, studies, medical treatment, leaving the house or travelling.

I believe that in general, for the saudi woman, everyday is a new battle. She needs to find ways to live on the face of this earth without colliding with the law, with men, with society, with the religious clerics or with the political establishments. She is besieged.

There are five types of shackles, or jails, for the saudi woman - if she manages to escape one, she might enter another. The first is the tribe, then comes the family, then the religious institutions, the political establishment and finally society. Where ever you go you encounter a battle. What are you to do?

With in every saudi woman there is a Scheherazade. Imagine Scheherazade trying every night to stay alive until the next. Thats how i see the saudi woman. Some might say that i am exaggerating, but .... I know that some of our women live in prosperity and freedom but and i am one of them but to what extent? To what extent do you own what you possess?

Hypothetically speaking, if who ever gave you that freedom decided to take it away from you - would you have the ability to escape this punishment?

The woman is raised to fear man and society. Why does she accept this upbringing? Because she stands to lose a lot if she rebels. when a man rebels he might collide with the political establishment only, but a woman collides with several institutions. Ultimately, i dont know if people have noticed but when a woman starts to become liberated, she is not respected by society, but when a man raises the banner of liberation and calls for equality and liberalism he is highly respected and is always given prominence. Even the state shows respect for the man who speaks freely but not to a woman who speaks freely.

She pays the price on every level - her family, religion and society.

Saudi women I think are greatly feared. When i compare the saudi man to other arab men, i can say the saudi man is the only man who could not compete with the woman. why could he not compete with her? because he has great fear of the woman. The woman has capabilities. When women study, they compete with the men for jobs. 90% of jobs are open to men so they dont feel any competition. Saudi men do not face competition from non-saudi men, who are also considered of lower status. The saudi is a man who has never known the meaning of everting efforts in order to realize a dream. I am not talking about all men, but about most of them.

If they do not face competition from saudi women, and not from the non-saudi man, they have the entire scene for themselves. All positions and jobs are reserved for them. Therefore, they are spoiled self-indulged men.
