JEDDAH Female activists have the right to voice their opinions regarding certain issues but they should not carry out this mission at the expense of the Kingdoms image on the global stage, said Nahla Al-Anbar, executive assistant to Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal.
She said some female activists have done more harm than good to womens rights in the Kingdom.
In an interview with Okaz/Saudi Gazette, Al-Anbar said a Saudi woman who aspires to make a change in the country should not depict her country negatively.
Im not against womens rights activists but I am against the methods and approaches that are used by them, which, by the way, dont befit our Saudi traditions, she said.

Cut "which, by the way, don't befit our Saudi traditions" off the end of that and you've got the "I'm concerned you're alienating potential allies, which should concern you because it's concerning." speech everyone that even remotely identifies with feminism has heard like a billion times.

Change will only come when women are able to shame the men.
