I liked this paragraph:

I think Saudi women have more important things to concentrate on for the present. One of them is to insist their names be heard in public. Currently, the social norm is that uttering a female’s name in public is taboo. That is why all Saudi wedding cards that are distributed to male guests say, “We would like to invite you to the marriage of the young man so and so to the daughter of so and so”. Her name is never mentioned. Her name being mentioned to men is a taboo.

Saudi women know that. Yet that custom exists. Wouldn’t fighting for her own name to be heard be better at this stage?

Imagine how hard it will be for a female politician to campaign for office if it is forbidden to utter her name?

What, like the Wicked Witch from the North AKA the junior senator from New York?

Well, we do the same thing with She Who Must Not Be Named. ;D

Bill Clinton was deferring to Islamic tradition when he did not speak Hillary or Monica's name when he wagged his crooked finger and said "I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN". He followed this by saying "Miss Lewinksy" (child off Mr. and Mrs. Lewinsky).

Vote For The Daughter of So and So

Folks, these people are really, really nut cases.
