Reem, a 37-year-old Saudi nurse, who asked that her last name be withheld, recalled when her family arranged her marriage. After graduating from nursing school, she worked for 10 years until her cousin approached her father asking for her hand in marriage.

“All of a sudden my father said to me, this is my nephew and you will marry him,” Reem said. “We were complete opposites in character and I didn’t like him, he wasn’t handsome. So, I refused, I cried, I did everything a Saudi girl can do, but sadly, they forced me.”

“It broke my soul,” she added. After a year of being engaged, Reem broke it off. Her parents then forced her to marry a man, who, according to Reem, was a drug addict; so she divorced him.

“Now, I am divorced with one son. I am a nurse, but I stay with my family. I have a good salary, but they refuse to let me live independently. I am 37 years old and I still live with my parents,” Reem said.

You know, they could solve the problem if every Saudi woman would slit her muzz slime male oppressor’s throat tonight.

I’m sure Hillary and Michelle will be lending their support.

Islam is the most misogynist ideology on earth.

Islam declared war on the rest of humanity in 622 A.D.

It’s about time the rest of the world fights back.

Quite a few college graduates around that age still living with Mom and Dad around here as well.
