Too handsome!

I couldn't believe the article I've read on today's paper, apparently it is a crime to be handsome in Saudi Arabia!
Dear, it would be laughable if it wasn't sad really.
Three men were expeled from the country because there was a risk of "women falling at their feet forgeting their moral values"...
The article came with two photos of this "too handsome a man to be allowed in Saudi Arabia" and Believe me, he is handsome, but not a God for women to be throwing themselves at his feet...
Besides one would think that women who were taught to keep their thoughts to themselves would not behave so openly towards a man.
And here I was, happy with the small changes women have achieved in that part of the world on this past few years such as being allowed to ride bicycles and cars, being allowed to enter the Olympic games, or the "No more abuse" campain wich fights agaisnt domestic violence in this country.
 Yet this just shows us how long the road to equality is in these countries if they think women cannot resist a pretty face.
Maybe this comes from the fact that Saudi Arabia men think that their women are being influenced by us, women from the west, but I got news for them, not all of us can't resist a handsome man.
This kind of thinking has to stop for we are not sexual maniacs who cannot see a man in front of us without having sex with him. Just as I am sure there are men in these counties who don't treat their women as if they weren't people. Certainly there will be traditional women in these countries who will be more stuck to old values than young men  therefore be  stricker with the women from their family and even resist teaching their sons that treating women as their equals is actually a sign of respect towards human race.
This is the mentality we have to change so that people can be treated as people without being blamed even for their genes.
