You can keep your human rights as long a I have my right to be pampered!

Saudi woman tells the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women thanks, but no thanks.  You can keep your human rights, I already have mine...THE RIGHT TO BE PAMPERED.

As a Proud Saudi Woman, I Speak

"Yes, I’m a pampered Saudi woman. Being pampered isn’t just because I’m a human being, but because I’m a woman. This is my official status. As for my social status, there are some social violations that may affect some women. But they also affect men. They are usually a bunch of social contradictions that defame the country’s view and they can’t be generalized to describe our society. The reason why these contradictions exist is that people are ignorant of the sublime constitution of the Kingdom that is based on Islam, which elevated the value of the human being and took into consideration the natural differences between men and women. These differences as we see and understand complement each other."

Seems the rest of the world has got it all wrong, perhaps we should have been focusing on liberating Saudi men instead of their women.  Why should they have to live with the constant burden to have to take care of everything, while their women are getting pampered?  Or better yet, why should we even care at all, when they're the ones telling us we should mind our own business?

As for women having a mahram (male legal guardian), I really laughed about CEDAW’s objection to the idea. I’m a Saudi woman who doesn’t leave the country without having an official delegation that takes care of me and looks after my needs when traveling. Having a mahram is just like having official delegations accompanying VIPs and political leaders. If Britain’s queen or the American president agreed to travel without a high caliber delegation that included security, diplomatic, media and administration cadre, then I might agree to be deprived of my mahram.
