IN SAUDI ARABIA, WOMEN APPARENTLY DO NOT EXIST IN A TYPICAL FAMILY. ONLY THE HUSBAND AND SMALL CHILDREN DO.
I supposed little girls exist until they reach puberty and when the menstrual blood comes, they vanish from sight like their mothers and grandmothers!
So I wonder if families in Saudi Arabia consist of homosexuals using eggs purchased from lesbians overseas? After all, IKEA catalogues seem to prove only males exist in a family so they must be flamming faggots!
I am told IKEA is not the only one. Rolls-Royce's famous and coveted Flying Lady is shown SQUATTING with head bent low as no women are allowed to stand so majestically in front of male drivers behind the wheel! What an insult to manhood!
IKEA Saudi Arabia Removes Women from 2012 Catalogue! Get your Hands on one of them as these have already become collector's items! Bet they are selling now in eBay!Restricting women’s rights is one matter, eliminating women out of the picture is another.IKEA is slammed for letting its Saudi Arabian franchise publishes a women-free annual furniture catalogue. In the otherwise identical Saudi Arabian version of the catalogue, near all women and girls are airbrushed out of the images; resulting in an all-male furniture spread. British free-newspaper Metro first broke the news late last night, comparing the Swedish version of the catalogue with the airbrushed Saudi Arabian one and questioned IKEA’s commitment to gender equality. Since then, Swedish authorities including Equality Minister Nyamko Sabuni and Trade Minister Ewa Bjoerling have criticised the furniture giant who quickly addressed a public apology. “We should have reacted and realized that excluding women from the Saudi Arabian version of the catalog is in conflict with the IKEA Group values,” the company said. Many believe that the airbrushing of women from IKEA’s annual catalogue in Saudi Arabia means more than meets the eyes, it rather signifies the intention to eradicate women out of the society – which is the death of gender equality as we know it. Womanly matters in Saudi Arabia has always been coloured with controversies because the country’s rules and regulations heavily depend on Shari’a laws. Women are very rarely portrayed in advertisements, even when they do – they are clad with long dresses, scarves and sleeves to cover up most parts of the body. Imported magazines are heavily censored, as to not show arms, legs and chest of a women, before they could be circulated in the country. For the lack of gender equality in the country, TrustLaw, a legal news service run by Thomson Reuters, rated Saudi Arabia as the second worst place for women to live in. Among the restrictions by the religious police for women are driving without the company of a male relative and wearing nail polish – although the new laws said otherwise. The same applies when women are to pursuit education and career. It still is a struggle for women graduates to find proper jobs that respect their qualifications. The Voice of Change, however, is anything but a faint one. This year Saudi Arabian women are allowed to compete in the Olympics for the first time, thanks to the gender equality fighters in the country namely King Abdullah, the crown prince, and Dalma Rushdi Malhas, the first Saudi woman in history to ever compete on the Olympic stage. By next year, a women-only city would be realised in Saudi Arabia – allowing women to have more freedom and chances in career and social life. We believe that in Saudi Arabia, it is the case of the more pressure applied to women, the more they rise up and strive for a better tomorrow. Such determination is never futile.
