She’s not Muslim anymore lol and a lot of the stuff she said is straight false. My mom went to Saudi Arabia, they don’t force you wear a face veil or anything like that (1). It’s just chivalry and machismo on steroids, that’s really it. Woman has psychological trauma and massive insecurity issues and is just tryna be westernized and whitewashed because of it. Happens to all Eastern women who travel to the West; the decadence here corrupts them.

“ in 2016, when King Salman stripped the religious police of arrest powers, removing the enforcers of the Saudi dress code. Almost immediately, women became more comfortable wearing their headscarves loosely or not at all, while others began experimenting with jackets, kimonos and abayas that show the ankle and calf.” seems like things have been changing there recently.

Mom went there ~2008 so your articles don’t really apply.

Just because your mom didn’t experience it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Yeah but it’s blown way out of proportion to further a political agenda much in the same way covid is. Sure some people die from covid, but the overwhelming majority do not. It’s kinda like that. Have you looked at Saudi Arabia’s crime rates? They’re insanely low.
