Women have just been granted the privilege of driving in public without a male escort by good(possibly retiring) king Salman:yeah:! Saudi Arabia adheres to a harsh version of Wahhabi Sunni Islam and is notorious for strict Sharia law and for a country steeped in misogyny sexist statements are part of the package Not everyone is happy about this:
Driving while female is (currently) a crime in Saudi Arabia (http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2014/12/28/arrested-for-driving-saudi-women-will-now-be-tried-in-anti-terrorism-court/), and one religious leader has justified the irrational rule by saying women’s brains shrink when they go shopping.
Saudi Arabian cleric Saad al-Hijri,https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/D36F/production/_97972145_sheikh.png who is the “head of the religious edicts department in the southern province,” made the comments during a lecture on the “evils of women driving” this week.

According to a translation of his words, women have only half the brain of a man to begin with. But when they’re shopping, it halves yet again (http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-41361123), leaving them with only a quarter of a man’s brain (http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Saudi-cleric-suspended-for-saying-women-cant-drive-due-to-brain-shinkage-505710). He has been banned from preaching. Needless to say there is a lot of 'quarter brain' commentary :o about the household today...: " Jeeze Honey if I drive U to the store...U can still shop with half a brain!!:oops: :nope: :dead: http://www.indiatimes.com/news/world/saudi-cleric-says-women-drivers-are-quarter-brained-gets-banned-from-preaching-330297.html (http://www.indiatimes.com/news/world/saudi-cleric-says-women-drivers-are-quarter-brained-gets-banned-from-preaching-330297.html)
