What an achievment?
It is not their fault it is the fault of the women for accepting being treated like a potential for dishonor.

Such a noble king, will He (note the capital) give me the honor to allow me to kiss his row and bow to his Holiness.

That's a much higher ratio of females to males than in Lebanon's Parliament!

FT blames women for not being enough women in Parliament...in a society such as Lebanon and the whole Middle East actually, affirmative action is needed (even if temporarily) in order to for young girls to have role models in such positions and in order for society as a whole to accept the idea. KSA has alot of problems but the fact that their council now has a higher ratio of women to men needs to be praised.

You are the one that passed amazingly at painting yourself as such, making it seem like you do not understand our society at all! You also pass amazingly at showing that you do not understand how party politics work and how our (terrible) Lebanese politics work. We have parties in Lebanon, how many of them support women nominees? And out of those that do how many nominees to they support? 1 maybe 2? Wala you want the men to run as party candidates and the women to run as independents?

Saudi Arabia does not have elections or a parliament. As corrupt as Lebanon is, their are elections and the failures of the system are a result of incompetent Lebanese people. Same people who have voted in the same warlords for decades, many of whom are not even capable of managing a Dairy Queen.

I heard it gets boring at these meeting. So 30 strippers will lighten up the mood. 5 guys to one woman, finally the women will get their revenge. lol

you guys are hopeless. you complain about everything! it may be a century too late. It may be a very minimul step in the right direction but at the end of the day, it's a step in the right direction. Yes we shouldn't be satisfied with it and move on. We should help/encourage for more equality among all but at the very least we should acknowledge that IT"S A SMALL STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

Those who say 'its a step in the right direction', may I also ask if you think the Saudi female athletes in this past summer olympics was also? Did you know this was a desperate move of appeasement after threats of disqualification? Do you know women cannot take gym class at school or legally ride a bicycle? Did you know that Saudi females were not even shown on Saudi TV- or how about those Wahabi pedophiles who called Saudi female athletes the "Shameless Whores of the Olympics???" Don't be fooled by these so-called people.

What's your point? Who is defending any of that? hence "Yes we shouldn't be satisfied with it and move on". You respond as if I was saying all is well and we should all move there. There are very few things that Saudis do that I agree with. regardless of your opinion of why they did it (however accurate that might be), is it not a small step in the right direction? don't you think that it has to start somewhere? on a side note, what or who is in your avatar?
