That's the place.
The law is very oppressing and quite humiliating. I'm against it.

I'm not asking this to be condescending, fyi, I'm genuinely curious.  Shy

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?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

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.

That's kinda mean. Maybe I shouldn't have told you guys what happened if ppl are you going to insult my husband.

RE: Why are Christians so uneasy about the paranormal
It's easy to answer your question, because they are scared of the shit their holy bible does not explain, it automatically defaults to devil.

If anyone here is a programmer, it is basically the default in a switch statement, and it returns something along the lines of devil.

I won't insult your husband.

He looks good in his blues.
