It seems some Saudi women really like wearing veils.

Makes you wonder what isn't sinful for women in that country.

Blind obedience to men and the church, would be my guess.

Women are temptresses

The social complexities of women working and doing business arise from one basic idea: that men are uncontrollably attracted to women and that women are natural temptresses, even if they try not to be. The Saudi solution, therefore, is to keep them apart as much as possible unless they are related by blood or marriage. Whatever the official line, though, a younger generation are increasingly finding ways around this.

.... this is kinda funny....

And one of the ironies of Saudi Arabia's sexual apartheid is that women's parties are a no-go area for the men of the mutawa. They can't raid a women's party unless they suspect alcohol is present - and they are in serious trouble if their suspicions turn out to be wrong.

"In that area, women have more freedom," Mrs B says. Later, Mr A suggests the partying is what holds Saudi women back. "They have too much fun," he says, though he wouldn't dare say it in Mrs B's hearing. "I think that's why they don't complain more."

At a clinic that treats obesity-related diseases, a booklet left by a writer named Muhammad al-Habdan, warned that if girls' schools began P.E., Saudi girls would have to change into workout gear — and good girls should not disrobe outside their homes. Changing in a locker room might cause them to lose the shyness that is the hallmark of good morals, the booklet warned.

It went on to say that the girls might become attracted to each other after seeing their classmates in tight leotards and tops.

Heh...Gym is going to turn them lez....right....I think repression will turn those women's parties into women's Par-Tay's....if you know what I mean....
