'Saudi women are being kept in perpetual childhood so male relatives can exercise "guardianship" over them, the Human Rights Watch group has said.

The New York-based group says Saudi women have to obtain permission from male relatives to work, travel, study, marry or even receive health care. '

Oh right, so when Ayaan Hirsi Ali says this stuff, its right wing propaganda by proxy, but when a 'New York-based Human Rights Watch group' says it, its proper lefty Wimmins Rights. Got ya.

So there may actually be some truth in what the Rovian Vast Right Wing conspiracy says, huh? Weird.
