Just Nuts

In what bizarro world is this proposal indecent?

Only women over age 35 or 40 be allowed to drive and only in cities. On highways, he said, they could drive if accompanied by male guardians.

Saudi Arabia, of course! Women are banned from driving in Saudi Arabia, and a Saudi councilman Mohammad al-Zulfa has recently suggested easing the ban to allow some women to drive some of the time. But the thought that women might actually be allowed to do anything for themselves in Saudi Arabia is just too scary. What happened?

Al-Zulfa put the proposal in writing and sent it to the council's presidency so it can appoint a date for discussing it. But apparently worried about the conservatives' reaction, council head, Sheik Saleh bin Humaid, has not responded.

Typical.
