I'll wait on this one.

My reasoning says ingrained misogyney (sp?) will rule out over any women's rights.

Even more devious (in my thinking) is some kind of event that will say, "See? We tried it and it didn't work .. puke residue akbar!"

Perhaps, but King Abudullah has said he's committed to various reforms in the KSA. Very slowly, mind you. Because ya know, if they go too fast, the next thing you know, the womenfolk will be walking around like this in public; And then there's no telling what might happen!! :)
