Saudi Lingerie Shops Ordered to Close due to males being on staff

AFP - The labour ministry has ordered the closure of around 100 lingerie shops in the Saudi capital for having men on their sales staff, a newspaper said on Sunday.

All shops which violate a decree on the "feminization and nationalization of jobs" would be shut down. The measure aims to "provide a safe environment for working women."

The ministry at the start of the year banned male assistants from working at lingerie shops, as a first step to be followed by women-only sales assistants at cosmetics outlets.

My god, this is totally ridiculous. Not that I want to buy lingerie from men any more than I want to wear a burka or similar garment.

But stop and think about all the liberal sentiment in favour of Muslim brotherhood riots, protests and takeovers of countries. If they take over in the USA, do they not realize that that is the end of lgbt rights, same sex marriages, and equality in the worplace for men and women.

Oh, heck, let's just shortcut it and say the end of human rights.

Oh, I forgot, we've been on that path since September 2001.
