Saudi women to spurn lingerie shops over salesmen

This is about fucking stupid.... Chicks in Saudi Arabia are afraid to buy panties... Fucking backwards stupid country.

No wonder why these people are so pissed off. They've never seen a woman in a bikini before outside.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia ? Before her wedding last year, Huda Batterjee went abroad to buy her bridal lingerie ? she just couldn't bear the humiliation of discussing her most intimate apparel with a man. She had little choice: there are almost no saleswomen in Saudi Arabia. Now a group of Saudi women ? sick of having to deal with male sales staff when buying bras or panties, not to mention frilly negligees or thongs ? have launched a campaign this week to boycott lingerie stores until they employ women.

It's an irony of the kingdom's strict segregation of the sexes. Only men are employed as sales staff to keep women from having to deal with male customers or work around men.

But in lingerie stores, that means men are talking to women about bras or thongs, looking them up and down to determine their cup sizes, even rubbing the underwear to show how stains can be washed out.

The result is mortifying for everyone involved ? shoppers, salesmen, even the male relatives who accompany the women.
