27. I know the Saudis follow some
weird strain of Islam called 'Wahabi.' (I don't know how to spell it.) But I guess this particular strain came about in the 1800's. I always thought it was similar to the Mormon movement here in the U.S. Some weird guy comes along and says God spoke to him and everyone says 'yeah, let's degrade and oppress women!'

What I want to know....why do they hate women so much? Why? I worked at Bechtel (my first job out of college...years ago) and got stuck working on the Riyadh airport. I never took so many breaks or worked so little in my life. Pretty amazing that I didn't get fired, but I just couldn't work for those assholes. So I just took their money and did pretty much nothing.

I wish the women of Saudi all the power in the world...I know it is up to them to change their country. And I firmly believe they will overcome.
