Saudi Clerics: Women Will Turn Gay If They Drive | News | The Advocate

Quote:

...Some Saudi men believe that allowing women to drive will lead to prostitution, pornography, divorce, and homosexuality. The highest Saudi religious council and conservative professors at King Fahd University have stated that granting women the right to drive will mean there will be no more female virgins in the country. Saudi Arabia is the only country that doesn't allow female drivers...

Ridiculous · 18th Nov 2011, 02:30 PM

Oh.. oh dear.

Maybe some of you ladies should try forcing your straight crushes to drive, worth a shot.

Beachboi92 · 18th Nov 2011, 02:41 PM

this sparked a plan. We will take away mens ability to drive, then gay men can hit on who they want freely

Doctor Faustus · 18th Nov 2011, 04:01 PM

I just want to laugh, this is so absurd.

Wow. Another thing to add to today's list of things which have no words that can be used to properly reply.

Emberstone · 18th Nov 2011, 06:38 PM

I am still trying to process this one.

I agree, we need to get scientist on this one, and discover what it is that turns men gay, so that I can kidnap danial radcliffe, and make him do it until he loves me.

Just sayin... driving did not make me gay...

Chouchou · 18th Nov 2011, 07:36 PM

I'm an Asian woman, which should make me a terrible driver, but judging from my clean driving record and dent-free car, I guess I broke those stereotypes. Driving probably made me gay, though, so maybe I should get a few parking tickets and hit a few parked cars in order to get my license revoked.

...so I won't become a misandrist prostitute who has a huge stash of lesbian pornography.

maybe women only become lesbians if they drive a automatic... if they drove a stick, they would become bisexual instead...

I still can't get over this story. People are so incompetant.

Enough said.

solarcat · 19th Nov 2011, 01:56 PM

My country lets pretty much anyone drive (no matter how bad they are at it), but I'm pretty sure there are still female virgins. If driving creates lesbians, how come only about 10% of the population is gay, when so many women drive?

... blarg!

Interesting... I didn't realize I might be gay until around the same time I got my car! The Saudis must be on to something!

It's not a 1-to-1 correlation. Women driving creates a culture in which women are more able to be out in society, which in turn means Satan can more easily send demons to tempt them into lesbianism. Sequestered women never meet demons and so can't be turned.
