Hold Onto Your Ovaries Before You Get Behind That Wheel! Holy Ovaries, These Women Want to Drive Cars!

This is hilarious. But I think the title of the article conveys that pretty well already. Note that this man is NOT a doctor of any kind and of course has absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever for his claim that women in Saudi Arabia will damage their ovaries if they start driving cars. WHAT?! Uh . . . mm-kay. He is a cleric--as in, member of the church. I wonder whether, under this theory he has seemingly pulled out of his you-know-what, opening bank accounts, traveling, working, or getting an education without express permission from one's male guardian (all of which are also still outlawed for women in Saudi Arabia), will also cause damage to the ovaries?? And I wonder whether all of this ovarian damage is occurring to women engaging in these activities all over the world, or whether it is something specific to Saudi ovaries?? I wish we knew about this riveting (NOT) theory.
