Women aren't forced to work in most countries, but I'm sure they appreciate the choice.

Or maybe the 25% of women who are unemployed (70% of whom are college educated) are content.

I just won't patronize them by assuming that I know best.

If woment don't want or need to work, good for them. If the powers that be in Saudi are so convinced of this then there would be no need to create legislation preventing them from working, driving, voting, standing for election, being appointed to legislative positions, or mixing with men.

My mother taught English in Saudi, and she left Riyadh an unhappy woman, bitter after meeting so many intelligent, sharp witted young women who knew that their lives were not their own.
