“ 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.
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.
“The male guardianship system not only directly affects a woman’s ability to report the crime to the police and file a court case without the permission of a male guardian, but it also relies on an underpinning idea of women’s obedience that is often in conflict with the possibility of combatting domestic violence, including marital rape.”
Lack of crime rate isn’t evidence that violence isn't occurring esp where women are concerned.
It does happen....

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

Not too many women reporting rapes in SA.
