“Wait a second,” I told myself. “I found it!” The missing piece that explains everything.
How can we Saudis talk about women negotiating cultural barriers when the biggest cultural barrier of all stands solid as a concrete wall, unchanged through the passage of time: Uttering a woman’s name in public?
How can we call for rights for our women; find jobs for our female graduates; seek a larger role for women in social development — when even uttering a woman’s name in public is still unacceptable in our society?
(...)
We continue to believe that women are God’s curse to human beings and are the source of corruption and temptation on Earth.
We continue to think that they should be fully covered from head to toe in black so that they cannot seduce men. We continue to degrade them and think that men are superior to them, believing falsely that our religion tells us so.
I say, let’s start by uttering their names without feeling disgraced in public first, and then we can move on to talking about more jobs, women driving, rights, and a larger role for them in social development.
