I have a friend who came from Saudi Arabia and I asked her if the rumors were true about sexism in her country. She replied that it was ABSOLUTELY not true and she had never felt degradation because of the laws of her country.
You see, the thing is that everyone finds it difficult to see things from a different person’s perspective. People think the that Saudi men make women cover themselves from head to toe, but it’s not the men making them do that. In fact those large black gowns they wear and face covering isn’t even an Islamic rule (Islam only told men and women to be modest), it’s more of a cultural dress. Asking a Muslim girl to take of her scarf (head covering) is the same as asking a regular girl to remove her shirt. Modesty is ingrained in their brains at a much deeper level then other nations.
As for the no driving rule, I guess that is quite sexist but I don’t think Arabian girls care that much.
