Call to allow women drivers stirs wasps nest in Saudi Arabia

I believe that the Islamic Comedians will have a great time with this subject at their night clugs...

.....what am I missing here?......

I'm not so sure this eminates from the "ruling class" in Saudi Arabia.
Methinks it comes from the Imams, and the rest of the religious clerics who have the male domination for hundreds of years and don't want to give that up.
There is somewhere a saying that Muslim men believe that sex has 10 parts and that 9 of these parts were given to women and only 1 part to men. They are terrified of women in some ways, methinks.

[BaBaStooey]

Everything comes from the "ruling class." Even if it doesn't, the "ruling class" allows it to happen. Crimes against humanity are occuring in Saudia Arabia under their watchful eye.

Your position is so ignorant and offensive on the face that there is no need for me to delve into the details of it. And oh yes! What a suprise! You insult women and a woman responds. It's "people" like you who would deny the vote to blacks because they vote mostly Dem instead of trying to bring them into the party. Why not? It makes as much sense as denying the vote to women. You are a disgrace to FR. Go join stormfront or some appropriate Muslim site.

I can't believe I'm even addressing someone like you.

There's only one way this can be settled.

Jello and bikinis at dawn

[frgoff]

Some cracks beginning to appear. Good to hear. Expect more of this as Iraq progresses.

[Xenalyte]

Your invective reminds me of the liberals who call names instead of attacking the position. You still haven't told me what's wrong with it.

I would also note that your hysterical response proves my point. Do you really think we'd trust you with the button when you call other women Muslims and Stormfront sympathizers?

And that, darling, is why I would deny the vote to women. You can't think. You've proven that.

[Xenalyte]

No substance-wrestling for me . . . weapons only. (You don't think I'm gonna let all this training go to waste, do you?)

I'll stipulate to allowing Jello to be thrown at us, as long as y'all agree to end women's suffrage should I win.

[avg_freeper]

"as long as y'all agree to end women's suffrage should I win."

I don't know. Sounds like the kind of wily trick my wife uses when she says,

"Ok. If you think you know so much, YOU can do it YOUR SELF from now on!"

Nothing good ever comes from that statement. Not even jello.

[blueminnesota]

YOU are the one who has not provided substance. You have come up with a juvenile, stereotypical list of why you think women are "icky". I am not about to respond in kind about men, it's illogical. I don't believe for a minute that you are a woman. You are either a frustrated teenager or the bitter leftovers of divorce. Where is the evidence for your position? Where is your "proof"? You make a list of ridiculous insults of 50% of America and then call other people "hysterical", "liberal", and say they "can't think".
Glass houses and all.

[Xenalyte]

Let's examine this.

I maintain that "Women as a group are illogical, emotional, unreasonable, impervious to rationality, flighty, and PMS-driven."

You tell me (ungrammatically) that my "opinions coincide exactly with the overmoneyed Taliban in Saudi Arabia. It's a shame noone else is calling you on it."

I point out that "The fact that you, unsurprisingly a woman, have chosen to insult me rather than attack the cogency of my arguments pretty much makes my point for me."

Undeterred by poor spelling, you come back with "Your position is so ignorant and offensive on the face that there is no need for me to delve into the details of it. And oh yes! What a suprise! You insult women and a woman responds. It's 'people' like you who would deny the vote to blacks because they vote mostly Dem instead of trying to bring them into the party. Why not? It makes as much sense as denying the vote to women. You are a disgrace to FR. Go join stormfront or some appropriate Muslim site. I can't believe I'm even addressing someone like you."

I remark patiently again, "Your invective reminds me of the liberals who call names instead of attacking the position. You still haven't told me what's wrong with it."

Your answer: "YOU are the one who has not provided substance. You have come up with a juvenile, stereotypical list of why you think women are 'icky'. I am not about to respond in kind about men, it's illogical. I don't believe for a minute that you are a woman. You are either a frustrated teenager or the bitter leftovers of divorce. Where is the evidence for your position? Where is your "proof"? You make a list of ridiculous insults of 50% of America and then call other people "hysterical", "liberal", and say they "can't think". Glass houses and all."

I would LOVE it if other FReepers on this thread would tell us which one of us is the hysterical female and which one is the rational human.

[Xenalyte]

Ping to #31 - opinions solicited.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

you are certainly rational - up to the point you attempted to use logic on the irrational.....

[Xenalyte]

It's my fatal flaw. All epic characters have one. ;)

"Call to allow women drivers stirs wasps nest in Saudi Arabia"

I am proudly White, Anglo-Saxon, and Protestant.

And I know of no wasp nests in Saudi Arabia.

Terrorists nests, yes.

But no WASP nests.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Yours is damn good. For me, it's flatulence

[Irish Eyes]

................I would LOVE it if other FReepers on this thread would tell us which one of us is the hysterical female and which one is the rational human.

I do not think that you would like to hear it.

[Constitution Day]

I'm lovin' your tagline.

[Xenalyte]

You'd be surprised.

I can't wait for you to tell me I'm hysterical. I hope you do it with a straight face.

[Xenalyte]

That's what started this whole damn mess! ;)
