Religious cops tell women not to use swings
Good move… Swingers can cause havoc in society :O(
Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police entered a public park in the Gulf Kingdom and told women to stop using swings, an act that drew applause and criticism by viewers of a picture showing the men warning some women at the swings.
The picture went viral on social networks in Saudi Arabia before it was published by newspapers showing two men from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice warning women against using the swings.
“Some viewers of the picture supported the move by the Commission members on the grounds women using the swing could encourage men to harass or molest them,” the Saudi Arabic language daily ‘ Al Sada’ said.
“Others said they believe the act is not acceptable as it amounted to an unjustified interference and repression of women by the Commission.”

:) I guess a bit of restraint on part of such men who get excited just at the sight of a women should make things easier. Moreover, if I am not wrong, arent the men expected to lower their gaze in such situations which then would take their minds off from thinking or acting otherwise.
happygolucky: Yes! You don't realize the harm these women could do. Swings today, roundabouts tomorrow and then the sand pit. Where does it stop ?
hmmm.. so am I being said to be burying my head in the sand. If so, how?
It is clear from the picture that the women were causing a nuisance and attracting men!
I guess locking all women up in their bedrooms is a much better option. If men don't see women they won't think of molesting them. Else a time will come even the site of a black abaya will give them a hard-on.

happygolucky: A man may get the wrong idea that the lady on the swing wants to chat or needs a push. It could lead to unwanted behavior - So, I've been told :O(
The oppression of women in the Muslim world continues and no man will stand up in support. Muslim women are also attacked by Muslim men in the west to silence them for speaking out for women's rights
Thelonius, Your suggestion is impracticable .... !

Simply exaggeration.
A wise woman / man needs a hint not explanation ..... They could have taken this advice in the positive sense & agreed ..... But then media won't have anything to print ......

Can somebody who understands kindly explain me this behavior of men: ".. women using the swing could encourage men to harass or molest them".
This may cause dizziness .... so it's for the women's safety not to use the swing when you'r alone ...
