I think it's good that some groups in Saudi Arabia are taking steps to give women more freedom.  It's obvious that women there are treated like second rate citizens and do not have many liberties, so anything that can be done to fix this is a positive thing I believe.  This is 2019 and there's no reason why a woman should need a male escort to do anything.  That sounds ridiculous to me as an American woman.  I feel sad for the women living in these nations.  What poor luck.

It's kind of crazy to me that women would still be advocates for this type of system. To leave women in a state of total almost slavery to the man is very inhumane. This would imply that the woman does not know how to take care of herself and needs the guidance and monitoring of her husband. And what about women who do not want a husband?

I can't imagine living in Saudi Arabia as a woman. I really can't understand how it must feel. The article said that sometimes women will have to get permission to do things like travel or work from their own son. That just seems crazy. I am totally behind these women who are fighting to end the male guardianship program.
