We can joke around about this. Right up until a Saudi court sentences her to public lashings, or worse.

she visited the site in Ushaiager with her legal guardian — a male relative, usually a father or husband, but sometimes a brother or son, who has the legal authority to control a woman’s movements — and that the video had been put online without her knowledge.

Given the potential for her to be tortured and/or imprisoned as a result of the release of this video, it kind of feels like “revenge porn saudi-style.”

Why isn’t the legal guardian in trouble for permitting her to break the law? Yeah, that’s rhetorical.

I guess it’s time to party like it’s 1699.

I’ve always thought that “Boobie Burkas” would be a great brand-name for a line of nursing covers.
