U.S. official criticizes female driving ban in Saudi Arabia

I’m sure many of you are as sick of this subject as I am, but I thought I’d just post a link.

The NY Times picked up the storey too but presented it differently:

"I don't want to drive a car," she said. "I worked hard for my medical degree. Why do I need a driver's license?" This is what a women in audience, Dr. Siddiqa Kamal, told Karen Hughes in Jeddah. She also said, “There is more male chauvinism in my profession in Europe and America than in my country."
Ok, I don’t know what the problem is with women like these; they are either in denial or they are just having the typical Saudi (Arab generally) attitude of acting defensively if some outsider points out their flaws, just because that came from an outsider, even though they know well that it is a flaw.
