I found it interesting that there were Saudi women for and against the guardianship program. I think in a broader sense this will only inflame tensions between Saudi's and the west as the more traditional Saudi's will undoubtedly blame western culture for these ideas. The fear of encroachment of western values into their culture has been a fear of Saudi Arabia since the kingdom's inception.

This kind of thing makes me so sad to hear... I can't believe things like this are still happening in todays day and age, after all the advancements that humanity has made as far as technology, racism, sexism, classism, and this kind of thing still is going on... It's awful and it's sad that we don't hear more about it in the media.
