They must really be running out of reasons to ban ladies from driving themselves around in the middle east.  Sheikh Saleh al-Lohaidan, one of the 21 members of Saudi Arabia’s Senior Council of Scholars, came out with this claim as a response to an upcoming campaign urging women to defy Saudi Arabia’s men-only driving rules.



Despite having no medical background, the sheikh claimed in an interview with sabq.org that women who drive cars risk damaging their ovaries and giving birth to children with clinical problems:
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.

That is why we find those who regularly drive have children with clinical problems of varying degrees.
This is the first time we've heard about women not being "equipped" to handle driving. But then again, this is coming from someone who thinks that being born with a stick between your legs makes you somehow automatically makes you better at everything.
