Technology is a means to an end, not an end in itself, is technology is being advanced to oppress women or kill people (military f.ex) than it isn't a good thing just because 'technology is being advanced'.

It was irony. They are using advance technology to set women back into the stone age. I was trying to point out the irony.

I have a question what if whoever the male guardian is just let's his wife do what she wants? Is the freedom of a woman more in the hands of the laws, or her husband/ male guardian?

It's probably more of a 'what society will think if I let my women freedom like that...the honour' etc even if the father/husband doesn't necessarily advocate it strictly.

Oh, hmm, good question.

Because I've seen husbands and men come out and protest with their wives and daughters for the driving rights for example. I'm wondering because if just more men (wishful thinking) but if more men in the society open opportunities for their wives and daughters outside of the government and laws. Will there be able to be a gradual change. I'm not a man so i can't speak for them, but are men really that upright about keeping their control on their women, even after their own mothers raised them with such love and care. Are there some that look around them in the world and think wait a second, this is ridiculous.

I'm sure there are men like that in Saudi Arabia. And I'm sure that while they may "let" their women do things differently whenever they can, they (the men) are themselves policed to act a certain way in public both by other people and by the authorities.

Take the example of Malala Yousafzai's father in Pakistan. He's obviously a very progressive-thinking man who ran a girls' school and encouraged his daughter every step of the way. He couldn't change the whole system alone, though. AFAIK, he and his whole family are living under constant threat from the Taliban and their supporters.

I'm pretty sure the cultural and social pressure on progressive men is similar in Saudi Arabia.

Well here is for wishful thinking, change starts from within society itself, not the higher ups.

Sorry the quote didn't use the right one for some reason!

In saudi Arabia men give their wives some freedom but this freedom is only because the laws already give them so much control. Secretly inside these same men are too insecure to give their women the freedom and justice they deserve because it would mean that they can no longer abuse their rights and power over them. And like most people, Saudi men are greedy and like the option to have their cake with lots of virginal cherries on top for the taking.

I think many of them do not quite see the hardship these laws cause for women because none of them have to endure them. It is so sad to see saudi women living in poverty after being divorced from their husbands or he doesn't take care of one of them in favor of another. I hope one day we will see freedom from oppression for all muslim women!
