"If a woman drives a car, not out of pure necessity, that could have negative physiological impacts as functional and physiological medical studies show that it automatically affects the ovaries and pushes the pelvis upwards," he told Sabq.
Two questions:
Why does that only affect the driver?
and
Why does that only affect ovaries, which are of course protected and cushioned by a good amount of flesh, and not testicles, which dangle freely with nothing more than a layer of skin for protection?

My apologies for the de-rail.

Whose smart idea was it for the guys with the soft, dangly, easily exploitable parts who are more susceptible to pain to be the warriors, while the women with the lower body strength, the internal parts, and who are more susceptible to pain to be the people who stay at home?

Probably because what with the pregnancy and the breastfeeding repeated ad nauseum (a lot of breeding was necessary just to keep the population from shrinking, what with the constant wars and diseases and whatever else), the folks with the dangly-doos are the only ones who have the time for it.

It's funny how they're now trying to make the ban sound benevolent even though someone else has already stated that the real reason they don't want women driving is because they don't want women to have the power to physically leave their husbands and be promiscuous and other such nonsense (at least, I'm pretty sure another cleric said that at some point).

Do you have a source? Everything I can find says the opposite.

Because it's sinful for a woman to have anything between their legs.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

If anything, men shouldn't drive. As I recall, men have a higher rate of accidents than women - enough that I recall hearing about an auto insurance company in the UK that only insured women.
