A Strange Boycott

You couldn't make this up. Saudi women are boycotting lingerie stores until they start hiring women.

Women in one of the most repressive states in the Islamic world have decided that discussing their underthings with salesmen who may very well be perverts is just too much to bear and, as a result, will no longer frequent undergarment establishments until the absurd policy of not hiring women for such positions is gotten rid of.

It is well-documented that women in Islamic countries face unbelievable forms of discrimination. Where, if I may ask, are the women's groups? Where is NOW, or NACSOW?
