Helen is one of the most reasonable and educated voices you're likely to find on gender-Twitter. Just sayin.

And as Karen Straughan is the MRA primarily responsible for the "Saudi is gynocentric" line, her material is relevant to your point.

I have found Karen to generally be one of the best voices of the MRM and must confess I found that quote of hers sad and disappointing (1)

Which quote are you referring to? That all cultures, including Saudi, are gynocentric? It seems obvious to me that they are.

She had a thing on HBR where she talkes about Saudi being gynocentric...said something like the women cant drive so men have to for them

I think her position is probably less radical than her critics made it out to be but it definitely seemed like her most questionable take.

According to Straughan, a majority of Saudi women polled agree with the status quo regarding driving. If true, her analysis makes sense.

Not if it suggests that its fine that women who want autonomy & rights can't have them because more women don't want them.

One Saudi woman's "autonomy" is another Saudi woman's loss of her male relatives' obligation to chauffeur her around. It's subjective.

And that;s the good thing about rights. You don't have to use them but people who want to can.
