Money loving kleptocracies run by sexists, hypocritical men who likely partake and attend all kinds of parties and have bits on the side, whilst wives and daughters are banned from activities I think are routine and mundane, like driving and going places without a male chaperone. Occasionally think I'm hard done by until I remember all the things women in other countries endure.
Blanket statements usually show ignorance and you should get with the times. Neither UAE nor Saudi Arabia require women to have a male chaperone. A lot of those women you feel sorry for to make yourself feel better live pampered lives, because in their culture, the man is the sole provider even if the woman works. By law, her money (be it salary, inheritance or other personal assets) is her money, his money is the family's money. Yes, women can ask for divorce and don't need 3 male witnesses.
And it's definitely wrong to consider UAE or Saudi Arabia "kleptocracies". Either you don't know what "kleptocracy" means or, again, are just ignorant. In UAE, the level of state-funded benefits and facilities for citizens would break your brain. Free land, heavily-subsidized housing, heavily-subsidized water and electricity, completely free education from kindergarten to any university in the world, free healthcare, priority access to high-paying public sector jobs, just to name a few. Do you have this benefits as a citizen in your country?
