Improved Essays
As known, in some countries everybody have their freedom to drive whatever if they are a men or a woman. On other hand, in some other countries it is illegal for women to drive like in Saudi Arabia. Inversely, in Oman it is allowed for women to drive but, it’s depend on their family if they are agree to let her to do it. However, some families are traditional and would not allow their women to drive. I think women should not be permitted to drive for two main reasons.
First reason, women must not be allowed to drive because they are too sensitive. Woman’s feelings are associated with their reactions to anything happen in front of them. Moreover their reactions consider different and weaker than the reactions of men. For example if they have

The efforts to push the Saudi government to allow women to be driving on public roads were encountered with inflexible disapproval. Some Saudi Arabian men also punish women who would challenge to drive in public.
In my opinion, women should not drive because they are too emotions, also women driving might cause many issues and problems for the society. Although, I believe that good driving depends on driving experience and personal culture. I think that the women have not sufficient sense of orientation and good reflexes to be drivers.

Such as, the persons who own taxi companies try to persuade those in the government to avoid women from driving so they can keep a high rate of employment. This is because if women allowed driving, then it may threaten the great employment rate of taxi drivers.
Finally, the unbending disagreed of Saudi Arabia government is a good judgment. Because they doesn’t want to be involved in such problems that still have been happening in the rest of the

And Lorber explains that by saying, “he is much more likely to take the wheel than she is, even is she is the more competent driver” “it is a form of social power” (730). This means that men have more social power over women, even with driving. Men have to be the ones who take initiative, and be the one who is always in control.

    In “Saudis in Bikinis”, Nicholas D. Kristoff states that women in Saudi Arabia are repressed because of their exaggerated attire. The key argument in the essay is whether or not Saudi women are repressed or if they think they’re free. Kristof seems to emphasize the idea that even if Saudi women believe that they are truly free, they haven’t been exposed to true freedom and have therefore been deceived. The final excerpt states: “If Saudi Arabians choose to kill their economic development and sacrifice international respect by clinging to the 15th century, if the women prefer to remain second-class citizens, then I suppose that’s their choice.…

    Even police officers who are tasked with enforcing the laws of their country believe that the stereotypes that women are not as capable as men.

    The tragic truth is that crashes are the number one cause of death for people between the ages of 15 to 20 in the United States of America. Anna Quindlen’s essay “Driving to the Funeral” went into the dangers of teen driving, by showing parents not being strict enough with their kids, the poor enforcement of the law, and teenagers being too irresponsible. Even though, there are many teens that were injured or even worse killed, parents are still taking the right of driving very easily onto their kids. Mrs. Quindlen said “Parents seem to treat the right of a 16-year-old to drive as an inalienable one.” Mrs. Quindlen criticized parents very heavily on allowing their kids to drive at such a young age.…

An article by Olga Khazan states that according to the Wahhabism Muslim there must be segregation of the sexes. Whether or not this is justifiable is a different topic, but there are simple and less limiting ways to segregate the sexes. In both “Bloodchild” and our world there are laws for driving that segregate the one group from another, and in our case, there is less justification.…
