You won't believe this wild story I heard, but it's true. Apparently, a Saudi man recently divorced his wife for a reason so mind-boggling, it's a wonder he could even get the words out.

You won't believe this wild story I heard, but it's true. Apparently, a Saudi man recently divorced his wife for a reason so mind-boggling, it's a wonder he could even get the words out. What was this unforgivable act? She walked ahead of him. Yes, you read that right.

After multiple, very serious "fucking warnings," she continued to disrespect his delicate male ego by... leading the way. How dare she, right? I mean, what kind of audacity does a woman have to possess to not only walk on the same planet as a man but to do so in front of him? He was just trying to live out the beautiful, traditional saying that "behind every successful man, there is a woman." This woman, however, was clearly trying to ruin his life by being, like, a total trailblazer.


The Unspoken Dangers of Female Leadership

It's a scary thought. If this is how Saudi women behave, what will become of the innocent and naive men of the world? These women are way ahead of men in every way, and it’s a frankly ghastly sight. Imagine a future where a man's fragile ego is constantly under threat because his wife has the audacity to walk into a room first. Shameful. It's a miracle society hasn't completely collapsed.

Honestly, if I were a man and I tried to pull something like that, my wife would probably kick my ass in public. Then I’d have to divorce her for bruising my ego. Can't have that. It's the whole thing.

Thinking about all this has me wondering, why don't we apply this same kind of logic to other parts of our lives? Like, imagine a "Triple Resign Law" for employees. You'd just scream "Resign, Resign, resign!" three times and get out of there without a notice period. The world would be so developed; we could just manifest a new job the next day. A man can dream, right?

But in all seriousness, good riddance to that poor, put-upon man. He's free from the tyranny of a woman who dared to have a mind of her own and legs that worked faster than his. Men of Saudi Arabia, you have been warned. Beware of such women.
