Saudi women with "Sexy eyes" will have to cover them up in public

The Government of Saudi Arabia says Saudi women with “sexy eyes” will have to cover them in public. It recently announced that a new law will be put in place to “stop women from revealing tempting eyes in public.”

So this is how the story goes. The President of the Islamic country’s Committee for the Promotion of virtue and the Prevention of vice tables this law after a member of the committee claims he was attracted by a woman’s eyes as he walked along the street, thus causing a fight.

So tell me. What makes you different from a cock that just saw a hen?

Even though the committee has not laid out a definition of “Sexy eyes”, a Saudi journalist bravely attempted to guess one, saying

“Uncovered eyes with a nice shape and makeup. Or even without makeup, if they are beautiful, the woman will be in trouble.”

These are women who have literally been cloaked up from hair to feet, but it seems now that even the little necessary allowance for vision is offensive to the pious men of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Why don’t they just lock their women up in boxes before letting them go outside? That should do the trick.

And King Abdullah, so pleased with the work of the committee, recently gave it an extra 200 million riyals ($53 million) to allow it perform better its duty of “promoting virtue and preventing vice”.

This is the same committee which in 2002 refused to allow female students out of a burning school in the Holy city of Mecca because they were not wearing correct head cover, leading to the death of 15 girls.

Well, I’ve said this before, and I day it again. You Saudi men, who don’t think women to be humans. Why don’t you just breathe in test tubes, cook your own damn dinner, and jerk each other off? That should solve the problem right?
