Is there a large group of people there who feel the same way about it as you do about the law's oppression of women?
It's not condescending at all.
Until now, women are called "Hareem" by the natives -Harem-.
The culture itself is pretty harsh on women; and that limits the concept of "women rights". Imagine being called a Harem by your own parents -who actually love you-, but since that's the name the native culture gives to women; you are reminded with every call -even by your loved ones- that you're nothing but a Harem.
"Horma" is the singular.
The some who understand get thrown in jail under charges like "disturbing peace-insulting the king...etc". Torture is the fate.
So many are hesitant to even talk about their views.
Therefore the numbers are a mystery. People only talk publicly when economy is dropped, like when the oil prices fell. Critics of the culture increased and it became somehow more frequent to hear a voice against the culture itself.
The culture needs to get washed away or even replaced, for voices to be louder. Also, the iron fist of the government prevents some from talking.
I don't think the numbers are big to change the culture.
BTW; Oppression made Saudi women stronger in many things. I can pretty much say that if a culture changer came; it'll be a group of women
Would help if the "great" nations of the world stopped sucking up to Saudi Arabia and actively condemned the governmental oppression of women and atheists there.
By the way, why it's not called Saudia in English instead of Saudi Arabia is beyond me.
