His mother replies 'They're just adapting to their new role, darling'. A note beside the driver warns of all sorts of dreadful diseases awaiting women drivers, including 'in the worst cases, pus-filled cartoons can suddenly appear'. Accompanying note from cartoonist states 'So.. driving a car in Saudi Arabia can damage your ovaries and push your pelvis upwards... This is such a twisted breakthrough in medical knowledge that some twisted man somewhere needs to be given a Nobel Prize. Seriously.' On 26 October 2013 in Saudi Arabia 60 women got behind the wheel in a rolling protest. One leading Saudi cleric argued that women ran the risk of damaging their ovaries and pelvises when they drove cars, increasing the possibility of giving birth to children with 'clinical problems'.
