Public lashing of women

A woman gets 10 lashes for driving a car in Saudi Arabia. The immediate response is that this is how men treat women in Saudi Arabia. I wonder why Saudi men do not protest. Its hard to think that young men of Saudi Arabia have no chivalry to stop things like this from happening to women. It is a shameful situation. The stupid Saudi administration needs to go. More than Syria or Libya, Saudi is where we need to see change happening.

Looks like the King prevented the lashing to happen. Cannot say that was kind because the entire thing was really gross. On the other hand looks like the King thinks Saudi women should be treated a little different from the past. Whether it be king or kin change for Saudi women is a good thing. Clearly, a smart woman is a smart home. Children of smart moms do way better than when only the dad is smart or even when the dad is not.
