Hey Gals, Check This Out – You’re Too Dirty To Walk On Saudi Arabia’s Sidewalks

The Saudis are now segregating sidewalks so their men don’t get icky girl cooties:

Saudi Arabia’s religious police are insisting that authorities of Medina, one of Islam’s holiest cities, should build separate sidewalks for women, the Kuwaiti Al-Qabas newspaper said Friday. The country’s Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV), tasked with enforcing Sharia law, believes men and women should not be allowed to mix on the streets of the Islam’s second holiest place, where the Prophet Muhammad is buried.

We’re tempted to ask something like “what’s next – having to sit in the back of a bus?” But we all know Saudi women aren’t allowed on buses without male relatives, so no go. And that’s before we even get to the Saudis’ nuanced views on women in cars. They really do just hate women, don’t they?

On the plus side, somewhere – right now – feminists are marching against the Jewish State in solidarity with Israel’s enemies. Israel has that wonderful ability to bring leftists together: anti-realist academics with realist hacks, feminists with the most sexist people on the planet, British doctors with people who kidnap and kill doctors. It’s positively heart-warming. What would they ever do if their viciousness succeeded and they had to find a new scapegoat? (via Weasel Zippers)
