Some people know I’m always curious about cultures, middle eastern culture is one I particularly like to learn about so I read this article right away when it appeared on digg.

In Saudi Arabia, a view from behind the veil

The American female author to a Saudi woman:

“Maybe you don’t want to vote,” I said. “But wouldn’t you like to make that choice yourself?”

The response:

“I don’t need to,” she said calmly, blinking slowly and deliberately. “If I have a father or a husband, why do I need to vote? Why should I need to work? They will take care of everything.”

I really really don’t fregen get Islamic culture.
