Women are being banned from Saudi Starbucks
This article is about a Starbucks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that has a sign up banning women from entering. The sign reads, "Please no entry for ladies only send your driver to order thank you", meaning only males may come into the establishment. The article continues to talk about how the sign caught the attention of social media after a tweeter who goes by "Manar" they posted photos of the sign and comparing it to segregation signs that were posted in the United States during the 1960s.
Analysis: After reading thus article I was very surprised and taken back. This can synthesize back to the 1960s when the femisinst movement was strong and women were all fighting for equal rights. This is a sad article to read though it is a very real problem throughout many countries in the world.
