Women Drivers!

A new opinion has emerged on the subject of women drivers. This social group which for so many years kept British comedians in clover has once more made the headlines. The source of this latest opinion comes from Saudi Arabia. A Saudi cleric by the name of Sheikh Saleh al-Lohaidan, insists that women who drive at at greater risk of damaging their ovaries. This allegedly results in them producing children with clinical problems. These comments come at a time when activists are trying hard to overtrun the current ban on women drivers and allow them to drive. If this latest pronouncement is the sign of more theories to come, I can hardly wait. Although I applaud wholeheartedly the notion of getting anybody to use their car less, this story comes under the heading of "It could only happen in....". Nobody doubts the discomfort which women drivers would cause men in Saudi Arabia. To see them undertaking activities outside the safe confines of their kitchens will obviously cause significant distress. If seeing them drive is going to induce such feelings of anxiety, I can only guess how the men might react if they see a woman applying a bit of lippy at the traffic lights. I assume the connotations of a cabriolet will also be contentious. I'm not well versed on their current law but do have a number of questions. If driving a car increases the chance of a woman damaging her ovaries, the risk is surely present wherever she sits. Clearly, it would be contraversial to permit a woman to sit in the front seat but I'm guessing that the back seats could exert an equally devastating effect on her ovaries. There must be a sensible solution here. I wonder if they've considered a side-car outfit in which the occupant travels in a standing position to protect her fertility and the future clinical outcomes of her progeny? Of course, to remove all risk the obvious solution is to just ban the concept of a woman travelling in a car. This would be more straightforward and would serve to remove the frankly silly notion that she might one day be able to drive the car just because she has watched it being driven by an expert man. It would also significantly reduce the number of women involved in road traffic accidents. If a woman driver was to be involved in a road traffic accident and the other driver was a man (which would represent a significantly high chance), how could she even think about making an insurance claim. She'd be the laughing stock of the insurance claims department. Jasper Carrot's insurance claims comedy routine would assume a whole new dimension. "I had to swerve a number of times before I hit her". "She didn't know whcih way to run, so I ran over her". The possibilities would be endless. I think this cleric should come over here because frankly, there are far too many cars on the road and its just high time that something was done about it. I wonder if he has views on men who shave? That would be worth a punt. Ban all men without beards from driving and spot fines for any man found to be wearing a false one to try and cheat. For that matter, ban all men from kitchens. The problem is that some people are just never satisfied. Women drivers indeed! The next thing we know, they'll be wanting women politicians. where will it all end?
