I'm not of the mind that Saudis are on-par with Sweden. Ultimately was hoping for something a bit more insightful than a Wikipedia article, especially when "Women were previously forbidden from" appears throughout.
Though from Wikipedia, thought this was an oddly discriminatory:
> women are still required to have men swear for them in a court of law.

- joelx 7y agoSaudis are a horrifying dictatorship that murders journalists and oppresses and enslaves people. They are an enemy of human rights.
- mieseratte 7y agoCool, I asked about gender-issues specifically. Thanks for derailing.
