The importance of culture
I just saw this article on the BBC news website. I think it's wonderful to see a woman take a stand against such an oppressive and backwards society. It says a lot about the importance of culture in changing opinion. It would be great if such a thing were to inspire a suffrage movement in Saudi Arabia.

Fucking fair play to her.
Hitchens says in God is Not Great the women's suffrage is what will, in the end, bring Islam into the modern world and I believe him.

It does make me more glad I was not born in Saudi Arabia. More so considering I'm a woman.

Hey, folks, in order to have women's suffrage, you have to have suffrage.
