They'll have to negotiate that. If men don't want to drive women around & women have right to drive selves around, don't see huge problem. https://twitter.com/melliflora/status/851075602421608449 …

Helen, it's not about whether you see a huge problem. It's that the majority of Saudi women do see a problem with driving themselves. /1

Lifting restriction on women driving also removes male obligation to drive his female relatives. Most Saudi women don't want this to change

Personally, I'd rather be free to drive myself. But I'm not a Saudi woman and it's not for me to dictate to them how they should feel.

I agree broadly with your social analysis, but not with your ethical analysis.

Do you believe you understand the majority of Saudi women's interests better than they do themselves, Ben?

It's not a matter of interests. It's a matter of ethics. Those women are benefiting at the expense of others.

Deeply utilitarian. Its in a majority's interests to deny freedoms to a minority so doing so is ethical.

In this case the majority sees this as a minority wanting to deny a coveted right to the majority. Still sound "deeply utilitarian" to you?

It has been explained to you that women do not have the right to be driven about by men. They just lack the right to drive themselves.
