I'm kind of shocked they named a women, because of how they are viewed in Saudi culture. Wish her luck, but I would not want that job in that country.
Gonna be pretty awk considering they aren't allowed to use the same entrance to buildings as men.. and, correct me if I'm wrong, are legally limited to how much time they can spend with men and where. "Unlawful mixing", I hear a lot of places are segregated.
Sounds about right, real advanced society ....
Can't wait to watch this thing flop..

NassLaMenace care to comment?
Not Nass, but certainly can comment.
Saudi Arabia's slowly warming up to western ideals. They're slowly (and really quickly, compared to conservative America) changing Islamic oriented rules to bring society in line with secular customs, like Dubai. All thanks to the Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
True, she may not be able to drive there, but that's actually better. The drivers over there are insanely reckless, and wouldn't care about smashing a sportscar. As for the separate entrances thin, it does not apply to offices - only malls and parks, and other public places.
Oh, she would have to cover up though.
"They're slowly (and really quickly, compared to conservative America)"
Can you expand on this?
Also, idk how not having the OPTION to drive is better than having it. I think the point these dudes are trying to make is that the sexist realities of the Muslim religion (many religions suffer from this but have mostly advanced beyond it) will make it hard for her to do business. The semantics (office separate entrance vs. mall separate entrance) are irrelevant. Do you disagree with this core point?
Lol at holding up Dubai as a model of secularism and forward thinking. Bunch of ass backwards countries, all of them.
Gotta love the disruptive, relentless strength of AMERICAN capitalism- e.g. Fracking.
