THOUSANDS OF WOMEN IN SAUDI ARABIA HAVE
REALIZED IT'S WEIRD THEY ARE EXPECTED TO ACT LIKE ADULTS WERE
STILL TREATED AS CHILDREN. 2500 PROVIDED THE KEYS KINGS OFFICE
CALLING FOR A DEMAND OF BASIC FREEDOMS AND RELEASE FROM
RESTRICTIVE MALE GUARDIANSHIP AND THE SYSTEM SURROUNDING THAT
14,000 OTHER PEOPLE WOMEN SIGN THE PETITION.
WHAT IS MALE
GUARDIANSHIP?
LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC ONE.
CURRENTLY WOMEN
HAVE TO SEEK OMISSION FROM A FATHER, BROTHER OR OTHER MALE
RELATIVE AND THEY WANT TO TRAVEL, WORK, STUDY, MARRY OR
EVEN LEAVE PRISON.
WOMEN ALSO STILL CAN'T DRIVE A CAR IN THE
COUNTRY A LAW THAT IS BEEN HIGHLY PROTESTED OVER THE YEARS.
ONE SAUDI WOMAN COMMENTED WE ARE ENTRUSTED WITH RAISING THE
NEXT GENERATION BUT YOU CAN'T TRUST US WITH OURSELVES.
IT
DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
A LEADING VOICE IN THIS GROUP IS
AS THESE ARE ALL YOU SETH WHO IS THE WOMAN WHO INTENTIONALLY
BROKE THE LAW IN THE COUNTRY BANNING WOMEN FROM DRIVING.
SHE
SAYS WOMEN SHOULD BE TREATED AS FULL CITIZENS.
THIS IS NOT ONLY
A WOMEN'S ISSUE IT IS ALSO PUTTING PRESSURE ON NORMAL MEN.
THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE FOR WOMEN ONLY.
SEEMS LIKE A LITTLE COPOUT AT THE END.
NORMAL MEN.
WHAT WAS THAT PERSON'S NAME?
AZIZA.
I KNEW ANOTHER AZIZA WHO LIVED IN AZUSA.
I THINK WHEN SHE MENTIONED NORMAL MEN AS WERE MY FIRST
THOUGHT WHEN BECAUSE AS A GUY YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THE POSITION
OF HOW THIS COUNTRY IS RUN.
I DO WANT CONTROL OVER PEOPLE DIE
NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT I DON'T WANT TO TELL SOMEONE WHAT TO DO
AND TELL THEM EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR LIVES.
IT IS STRESSFUL.
HAVE TO DEAL WITH MYSELF.
I DON'T WANT TO TELL SOMEONE ELSE WHAT THEY NEED TO DO THAT.
AT THINK OF WHAT SHE WAS SAYING AT THE END.
HEY, IT MAKES YOUR LIFE A LITTLE EASIER.
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE STRESS OFF YOUR SHOULDERS IF WE GOT TO
ACT LIKE PEOPLE TOO?
WHICH SEEMS VERY SAD.
HONESTLY, I WOULDN'T MIND IF THEY PASSED A LAW THAT MEN
COULDN'T DRIVE IN AMERICA ANYMORE BECAUSE I'M SO SICK OF
IT.
I'M SO TIRED OF DRIVING ACROSS THIS CITY.
IT IS STRESSFUL.
I'M AT MY WITS END BY THE TIME I GET HERE.
I'M SO
FRAZZLED.
WHERE IS THE REPRESSIVE RELIGIOUS REGIME TO TAKE
SOME OF THESE RIGHTS AWAY?
I DISAGREE WITH JIMMY.
I AM FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS.
ONE OF THE IDEAS BEING FLOATED IS THAT WOMEN WOULD NEED
SOME SORT OF DESIGNATED AGE BETWEEN 18 AND 21 MUCH LIKE MOST
COUNTRIES HAVE FOR SMOKING, AGE OF CONSENT, BUYING OUT THE
HALL, VOTING, JOINING THE MILITARY BUT AT THIS AGE IS
WHEN SAUDI WOMEN WOULD BE TREATED LIKE ADULTS.
THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR RESPONSE FROM OFFICIALS ON
THAT ONE.
HOW DOES THAT WORK?
I'M PICTURING PICTURING IT.
ONLY
REFERENCE WAY I HAVE IS OUR COUNTRY.
SAY THEIR 2500
PROTESTERS BOMBARDING THE KING'S OFFICE.
DOES THAT WORK HERE?
I
DON'T SEE WHY IT WOULD WORK THERE.
I HOPE IT DOES.
BUT
DOES THAT MEAN THEY CAN GO 2500 WOMEN CAME IN APPROACH THE
OFFICE.
TO HAVE ANY WOMEN QUESTION THE SYSTEM, IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER EVEN THOUGH IT IS INSIGNIFICANT TO US.
IN A VERY SIGNIFICANT COME I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY THEY
WOULD LISTEN TO THEM.
THEY PROBABLY WON'T IN ALL LIKELIHOOD.
IT IS CREATING A
CONVERSATION THOUGH.
IN MY PROVIDE SOME SORT OF PRESSURE AT THE VERY LEAST.
THE OTHER QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE?
WHAT IS THE
ALTERNATIVE TO PROCESSING WHEN HE DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS.
WHAT
YOU DO IN THAT SITUATION QUESTION MIKE THE
ALTERNATIVE SEEMS TO BE NOT DOING ANYTHING.
THE ALTERNATIVE IS VIOLENCE.
THIS IS THE BETTER OPTION OF THE 2.
THEN YOU CAN'T RUN PEOPLE OVER WITH YOUR CAR BECAUSE
YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT.
YOU COULD MASS PROTEST AND RUN OVER PEOPLE.
THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
I DISAGREE.
I AM FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS.
MAYBE THESE NORMAL MEN.
WHENEVER UNIMPRESSED GROUP NEEDS
TO MAKE THEIR WAY OUT, THEY NEED HELP FROM THE GROUP THAT IS NOT
OPPRESSED OR AT LEAST VISUALLY.
THEY NEED THE COST OF HER AUDIENCE.
ARE THERE ANY MEN IN SAUDI ARABIA, I DOUBT IT, THAT
ARE GOING TO STAND UP FOR WOMEN.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN ANY OF THE ARTICLES I READ THAT IT
WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE LIKE JAYAR SAID IT'S PROBABLY WHAT THEY ARE
SAYING.
YOU COULD BE A LITTLE LAZIER IF WE GET TO BE PEOPLE.
IT IS ALSO, HELP US.
PLEASE BE A PERSON AND HELP US BE PEOPLE.
WE GET TO SEE IF THAT WORKS OUT.
SUCH A WEIRD COUNTRY.
EVEN THE RULING POWER ISN'T GIVEN TO
THE SUN THAT IS GIVEN TO BROTHERS THAT THEY BEEN PASSING
OFF BETWEEN BROTHER SINCE THE EARLY 20S.
HE GOES TO THE CROWN
PRINCE, I DON'T KNOW, WHO CARES.
THERE IS A HASHTAG I AM MY OWN GUARDIAN.
THAT QUESTION
WHAT CAN I DO?
THE CHANCES OF ANYTHING I INDIVIDUALLY DO TO
CHANGE THE POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF SAUDI ARABIA
PRETTY LOW.
YOU COULD STOP SELLING THEM ARMS.
YEAH, BRETT.
FINE, I AM GOING TO CANCEL MY CELL ON EBAY OF ARMS.
WE CAN'T DO MUCH AS OUTSIDERS FROM THE COUNTRY, BUT WE
CAN CERTAINLY LAY ON THE PRESSURE.
CAN WE CALL THE GUYS IN SAUDI ARABIA COX?
THAT SEEMS TO WORK.
THAT'S THE SMART RESPONSE ANYTHING JIMMY.
CUCKOLD.
I HAD TO GO OVER TO READ IT, MARGARET BELOW IS DOING AN AMA.
WERE GETTING TOGETHER TO CALL
HIM CUCKOLD.
