THE SAUDI NOOSE
TSN: Saudi Arabia is a place where one can still visit the 7th century and not be in a museum.
It’s because of the Islamic inspired, male driven society’s deep seated rejection of women in the workplace. They believe that they can’t be trusted not to go whoring around. KGS
Saudi Arabia’s bra problem
MELİS ALPHAN melisalphan@hurriyet.com.tr
Women in Saudi Arabia have to buy their intimate clothing from male clerks. This causes much embarrassment for women customers seeking advice on bra sizes. The Labor Ministry is threatening to close all lingerie stores that fail to replace male staff with females
One would be surprised to be welcomed into a women’s lingerie store by male clerks in one of the world’s most conservative countries such as Saudi Arabia. And surprisingly that is just the case. The lingerie shops are being run by female staff worldwide and one would expect the same from this kingdom. Instead women in Saudi Arabia have to buy their intimate clothing from male clerks. Such irony.
