The American support for Saudi Arabia is because of oil, arms sales, and “stability”. As to how a country that finances and spreads Wahabiism is good for stability, I will never know.

This is not a cultural difference. It’s tyranny imposed on people via violent repression.

Yay they got to vote! Only, she had to do 10-steps behind her husband, entirely covering her body with clothing, only to return home to make sure she doesn’t accidentally look at a man who is not her husband lest she be stoned to death.

Red hair does fade over time- so much so that most red heads wind up with snow white hair in their mid forties. Going strawberry blonde is a way to deal with that.

“This is a historical moment. I thank God I am living it.”

Could I borrow some straw?

Saudi is an an absolute monarchy. The Saud tribe rules everything with a solid fist.

Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy. What are they voting for exactly? Do the elected candidates have any real power?

This is not a baby step. It’s propaganda, it’s a mirage. Saudi will still be Saudi, funneling cocaine and meth money to ISIS, handing school children textbooks that depict Jews as rabid Pigs, beheading Indonesian maids for practicing “witchcraft”and walking the streets bashing women for the audacity to show ankle or a…

Has anyone heard Obama criticize the way Saudi Arabia treats women?

Seriously. I can see why people who are not traditionally attractive start messing with their faces, but it always baffles me when people who are already the current standard of beauty do it.

Obviously this is much better than them not voting before, but my god am I happy I was not born a Saudi woman.

I regret she not only lost that gorgeous hair but fucked up her unique face. Now she looks like another washed out, botoxed blonde with overly plumped lips.

I regret that Nicole Kidman lost that amazing red hair throughout their marriage

I love how they describe their concern as “Trouble in their homelife.” It sounds to me like they are pre-emptively blaming their wives for being jealous or being afraid they’ll get busy with their fellow, grime covered, smelly, commando. So... it’s either the woman in the field or the woman back at home that are the…

I’m glad you are kind of on board, but why would you assume a woman wouldn’t be there for her friends? I’m in no way physically capable of this sort of thing, but I do know that if I were I would never leave one of my team behind. That's not a man thing; that's a human thing.

AAAHHHH! BOOBS! MY ONLY WEAKNESS!!!

“As for the concerns regarding mental toughness and possible romantic entanglements: fuck off, entitled gross dudes.”

As I was reading this article I turned to my coworker, exasperated, and ranted about the exact same thing. How about you guys just choose not to be assholes and cheat on your wives or sexually harass…

“Most of the respondents were young, white married men who are worried that the presence of women in their small teams could create complications in their home life, sexual harassment or affairs. They believe the risk could affect the family-like trust of the group.”

“I weigh 225 pounds, and 280 pounds in full kit, as did most of the members of my ODA (a 12-man Army Green Beret unit). I expect every person on my team to be able to drag any member of my team out of a firefight. A 130 pound female could not do it, I don’t care how much time she spends in the gym. Do we expect…
