Saudi Women Driving? What do you think?

Hi Everyone!

Here are some very interesting videos on the controversy in SA about driving. I am presenting some information on the subject, but I have no opinion as to whether SA women should drive as it is not my country, and it is a complex situation. (However, if you could lend me your driver for a week, that would feel like the best vacation, ever!!!)

This is an SA comedian (who is influenced by Bob Marley) doing his own rendition of "No Women, No Drive":

Nevertheless, here's a music video by a young female singing artist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9Dbam4l-kY

The lyrics of her song make some interesting points:

"Call all the ladies out, their in their finery, 100 jewels on the roads, 100 jewels between...no bring more girls in...the skin is like the moon...the moon we love like a brother...dancing around the rights we owe...

"...we live in cities you'll never see on the silver screen. Not very pretty, but we sure know how to drive free, living in ruins within the palace of our dreams. You know we're on each others' team...

What do you think?

1)  Do you think that driving is a women's right, or is it a government's right to protect women from what they feel is harmful?

2) What are the pros and cons of driving?

3) Does the act of driving mean freedom?
