#3 ...There is one flaw in this brilliant idea: Gulf nationals (and ESPECIALLY the Saudis) have usually had a monthly income from the state that has relieved the need for them to work, and the TCNs (Third Country Nationals) do all the jobs the Saudis have never wanted to do. I see some difficulty in convincing much of the male Saudi population that there is nobility in work.

But there will be plenty of girls thrilled by the independence being permitted to earn a wage will give them, at least during working hours, and humble enough to accept whatever opportunity to work is thrown their way. And their fathers and brothers will be happy enough to take their earnings, as is their lordly right.
