Saudis Condemn Fitness in Women

(Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) The Islamic Kingdom forbids women's health and fitness clubs, even when they are attached to hospitals. According to one health official:
"Anyone who violates regulations governing the running of health facilities would be punished severely because this involves people's health."
"People's" must mean women since men's fitness and health facilities are quite proper.

It's time for the feminists to march and protest this obvious example of gender discrimination. Maybe that gang of babes who protested the Masters Golf Tournament could redirect their outrage.



Women Protest Discrimination at Masters

Obviously, the Saudi women need to organize similarly and coordinate with global feminist groups to fight discrimination and inequality in Saudi Arabia. A nice start would be for Western women's groups to weigh in on the situation and express outrage at how the Saudi men treat women. Strangely, the sisterhood is not globally united.
