Having recently discovered that girls need to be allowed to eat food just like real people, pathologically sexist Saudi Arabian officials have been coming up with new ways to visibly highlight women's chattel status. Outstanding work gentlemen:

Commission members banned female shoppers from sitting in a makeshift outdoor restaurant to have their iftar meals in a low-income neighborhood in Jeddah because men were already seated at special tables set up for the fasting month... Muhammed Mehdawi [said] commission members forced his wife and children to eat their food while standing next to him. Other women stood by the stands that run the modest eatery. Ali Al-Hayyan, head of the commission’s Jeddah branch, said the agents’ actions were meant as a deterrent, “especially since some of the women were dolled up, and also to prevent the mixing of the sexes that could happen at such events and which our religion rejects,” the paper said. Siddeequa, a 52-year-old woman, said she had to eat her food standing after the commission’s members asked her to leave her seat at the restaurant.

They hate women. They just hate them. They control, degrade, and humiliate women simply to show they can. At least Western feminists haven't chosen to make common cause with these bigots (via Meryl).
