Blisterin' biscuits! Fifteen women out of an entire nation are allowed to work outside the home. (What do they do? Are they sitting in the conference room voicing their opinions on decisions or are they just "office ladies?")

Geez, so what? Dig a little deeper, will ya?

While the Prince's investing savvy may be admirable, I have a hard time praising someone who has gotten rich in a country that is everything but a land of opportunity. When a Saudi woman builds a fortune, or when a nobody from the Saudi equivalent of Omaha builds one of the greatest fortunes on the planet with $100 bucks they earned selling cokes door-to-door, I'll give the Prince his props. The Prince espouses some progressive ideas, but has done little to make a real impact, let alone in his own country where gross inequality can be witnessed on a nearly constant basis.

In the US 51% of Women over 18 are single and of the ones who are divorced most choose to stay single...Why? Now that is a question to ponder.

Considering that the majority of Families require two income partnerships, could it be a mindset that seems surprised when women succeed in the Business World and Studies that show their Power is relegated within the walls of their homes? Hummmm. I wonder?

More power to the Women in the developing world they face a up hill battle.
