Are you even allowed to have an opinion on Saudi Arabia?
Well Saudi residents living
in the country certainly aren't.
And how ironic that a woman—Fatimah Almathami—who
claims that Saudi Arabia is loosening up its strict moral
and ethical codes—is still forced into wearing a hijab.
And I know she'd say it's
her choice to wear her religious rags,
but we all know that's an untruth—Almathami is afraid not to
for fear of male retribution directed towards her, possibly violent.
THIS article talks about some women who've decide for different
reasons to stop wearing hijab.
One of the women says, after removing her hijab, "I felt 'innocent'
of the political issues plaguing this country, I felt none of the
accountability I usually shoulder. I felt like I shed all of the
stereotypes in one act of removing the hijab."
