If I was one of these driving mothers I'd tell them to stick it and continue to take the kids to school by car.

 

And when they object I'd take the matter to court.

 

Who do these people think they are?  This is another ridiculous rule typical of stupid men in authority who presumably feel threatened in some way.  Utterly ludicrous.

I don't think it's that easy. You'd face huge opposition from your family and friends, and the community you've grown up with. You'd face ostracism, shame and deprivation.

It would take a lot of courage and determination, and the result would not always be worth it.

No I've never wondered about that. It's perfectly clear.

Perhaps if these women's husbands now have to take the kids to school instead, family support from at least one corner might be forthcoming.  But honestly, we don't know what this group is like.  If women were previously allowed to drive then the community may not simply roll over and accept this change.  A lot also depends on the person who instituted this rule - is he the type who has made other silly pronouncements, or is on some kind of power trip....or is he a respected member of the community?

If it was me, I'd be prepared to defy them.  It could be a matter of the kids' safety to drive them to school.  If that's the case I don't see how any good parent can allow this to happen.

"Isn't that what all religions are about?"

 

Couldn't agree with you more myoclon.

 

 

 

 

have you heard the saying -

a little knowledge is a dangerous thing?

 

 

what do these women have in common?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i'll give you a clue -

they're all strong, independent women

and they are religious

Yes, they manage to succeed despite their religion and not because of it. 

Shows what you know ....     or not.
