In Saudi Arabia, a woman showing skin other than her forehead, eyes, or hands is considered deviant. It is a sign that the woman is impure and "asking" for sexual encounters. I feel it is caused by the fact that the men there have no self-control, and would rather have the women suffer. (they are considered to be of less woth than a dog, and treated worse) If a man with higher power or any man at all is found to be guilty of rape, the man is rarely punished. The woman is always punished by some form of tortured death.

I'm so glad I live in America.
