I'm actually pleased that people have stopped tolerating intolerance. 

That's not my point

 

Very few ppl actually commented on the progress on criticize it

 

Cultures don't change overnight. But we should give credit where it's due

 

And the rising rights for women in Saudi Arabia isn't a one time blip. For years now it has been a trend

 

That's a good thing

Although it's a move in the right direction, these announcements are only here to restore the king's image, who is murderer and who needs to be prosecuted over the atrocities in Yemen.

Great, can't wait to see more progress over there. And over here. And everywhere else.

These changes are mostly meaningless considering the Saudi government is still accepting brutal capital punishments and massive corruption. Assassinating political dissidents is also popular in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately there's not going to be any significant changes in any Islamic country until they get rid of Islamic fundamentalists.

Atleast they're letting women leave the country unlike the UAE. 

I do appreciate the fact that Saudi Arabia is women are given more rights. However, it is still an absolute monarchy and remains one of the few countries that have not accepted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

"Mohammad bin Salman, the son of King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, continued to fortify his personal authority during 2017. He had been deputy crown prince since 2015, while also serving as defense minister and holding a number of other official posts, but in June 2017 he engineered the ouster of Mohammad bin Nayef—a nephew of the king—as interior minister and replaced him as crown prince. Several months later, after agreeing to lead a committee charged with rooting out corruption in the kingdom, Mohammad bin Salman ordered the house arrest of scores of wealthy officials, businessmen, and rival members of the royal family. Those detained were forced to turn over billions of dollars in assets to the state.

The crown prince also ordered a crackdown on popular preachers and reform advocates in September. These arrests, which cut across the country’s political spectrum, indicated that the kingdom’s leaders had little interest in political change, despite the announcement of modest plans to ease some social controls, such as the ban on women driving." https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/2018/saudi-arabia
