very sad article on the same page.

'Sex Maniacs' - that's a term I haven't heard since the '70s

Some very strange things in that article, the rapists dropped her off at the office of the mutawa after taking turns raping her for a week... Was it guilt or just stupidity?

Also, “fell from the frying pan into the mud” is a famous expression?

That made me feel sick - what kind of men are these? Who raises scum like that, don't they have sisters and mothers?

Well it is an extremely patriarchal society...

Patriarchial doesn't mean having a total disrepect for women. There is never any excuse for such behaviour.

The sooner I'm out of this shithole the better... Just 3 months left

Spugsy

aye along with 'she was a total nymphomaniac!'

Spugsy

Still not sure why anybody would go, I'd rather iron my balls than even consider that shithole.

Spugsy

Absolutely horrific, and the worst thing is what will happen to her now? Disowned? Flogged?

what a barbaric place KSA is.

Norm_uk

Exactly...plenty of benign and somewhat patronising yet harmless patriarchs in the world who would never dream of harming a woman. The ideals of chivalry and being a gentleman come from enlightened patriarchy.

What that story is is an example of pure savagery and brutality...

Saudi is extreme patriarchy, and this goes hand in hand with domination of women.

No, not all patriarchies are like Saudi obviously but you will find a correlation between pro-active patriarchal societies and misogyny. The MidEast is also never going to leave its tribal/racial bigotories unless there is a move away from its staunch patriarchal nature.

I know I don't need to defend Saudi, a culture that's completely different then what I was used to being brought up. Still, most of the comments here are unfair since they claim that because those stuff happened (supposing that the articles which I believe are lies are true) that the society accepts and is accustomed to total disrespect for women.

Admit it, it's just because you don't like how the society runs things in regards to the roles and responsibilities of the two genders that you want to say anything and everything that's bad about how you think women are treated behind closed doors.

Not to everybody but most comments...
