There were still countries that do not allow women to drive, that we should be aware as feminism is not only fair, ¡but also necessary!
As confirmed by various means, this cover with a woman behind the wheel, with a heel and a bit of pelo peeking out from under her abaya It could have caused a stir until very recently in the country. «In our country, There conservatives fear of change. For many, It is all they have known. Personally, I support these changes with great enthusiasm. It is easy to comment on other companies and think that one is superior, but the West must remember that each country is unique and unique. We have strengths and weaknesses, but anyway it is our culture and it is better to try to understand that judge«, Princess said Hayfa.
