    Unhappy Saudi Arabia outlaws 'tempting eyes'

    A new law in Saudi Arabia banning ‘tempting eyes’ has become the latest example of female oppression in the country.

    The law, which states that women with alluring eyes will be forced to wear a full veil, has been branded ‘stupid’ by dissenters and roundly criticised on social media, aina.org reports.

    Sheikh Motlab al Nabet, spokesman of the Saudi Arabian Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, said they ‘had the right’ to force women to cover their face.

    ‘The men of the committee will interfere to force women to cover their eyes, especially the tempting ones,’ he said.

    ‘We have the right to do so.’

    Heaven forbid sexually insecure men be exposed to such "philandering whores" causing the men to have such nefarious thoughtcrimes ensue, should they ever be given the "evil eye."

    You know, whenever people talk about all the progress being made regarding women's rights around the globe and how far we've come, you don't have to look very far to see how much further we still need to go.

    I'll never pass up an opportunity to post a metal youtube link.

    Most of you metal fans, even Pantera fans probably don't know about this one. It has some good early guitar work by Dime.

    Humanity in general. (Minus certain parts of the world still steeped in ancient tradition, of course.)
