The article also discusses other parts of Saudi life as it relates to gender roles, including restrictions on women using public transportation.

That was really fascinating. If Saudi women doctors migrated to other countries - they'd be seen as high status, good contributors to society rather than people whose movements/occupations and fertility/sexual expression must be tightly controlled in order to prevent dishonour.

According to the Saudi guys I hung out with the other night, this is all changing but the changes are so slow that it could take years before women see freedom anywhere like other countries.
