It just seems to me that the priorities are all messed up. What's the use of driving if the Guardianship system is in place?

True. The Guardian system might be harder to beat, though.

Well, like I always say sometimes you gotta take a big dump before taking a little dump.

My prayers are with this woman.

It's a small victory despite the aftermaths. These small sacrifices are required to move forward. When I was a teenager, almost all Saudi women in my area were covering their face (either completely or only showing their eyes). It was unthinkable for many local women to drop the face veil back then. Religious Police would often nag non-local women in mainly-women markets to cover their faces. We have come a long way now.

Every step forward is a victory, that's for sure.
