Should Women Drive Cars in Saudi Arabia NOW

I am not against women driving cars in Saudi Arabia. I am all for it, but it should not be done until the public is ready. As we speak, the public is weary of anything involving women rights or wrongs. For those women not wanting to wait and asking for their right to drive now, I say they should go ahead and drive. Let them be the punching bag and pave the way for those who were wise enough to wait. Let them get harrassed by teens and the unemployed.

Instead, what we should do now, is to prepare the public gradually. We should make sure, free time for youth is spent properly. Special venues should be added to take care of this extra spare time. Cinemas should be back. "for families only" places need to be looked at again. Awareness sessions in schools and communities could help as well.
