The Saudi youth did not react to the decision to allow women to drive as some portrayed them. Rather, they expressed their happiness with this decision, refusing to describe them as human wolves and monsters that will expose girls in the streets, attacking everyone who contributed to distorting their image through social media, creating a tag in « Twitter »under the heading #Keep it_shopping. Hundreds of young Saudis participated in the hashtag under one opinion, which is to allow the Saudi woman to drive the car amid the warmth of everyone, as she is the strong partner for the renaissance of society, considering that the time has come to lead her after she led dozens of young people in companies and government and private institutions, and she became an important part in building society, as She occupied the shura platform, the municipal councils, and other major positions in the Kingdom.
Young people also indicated, through the hashtag, that they are more aware, as times have changed and the interests of young people have changed.
Ghaleb Al-Amir recalled a previous decision, which was to prevent young people from entering malls, and he considered that prohibition is the cause of chaos in many times, as young people reject the word “forbidden” or “no”, and at that time everyone witnessed many violations of young people at the entrances to malls, but after Allowing them to enter and share with families the right to picnic and shop. The matter has changed a lot, as we no longer see those abuses, problems and harassment, which in his opinion he considers deliberate, as a result of the prohibition decision, which is an implicit expression of their rejection of the word "forbidden".
Ziyad Kadah said, "We are not human wolves as some portrayed us on the Internet, after the decision was issued. The Saudi youth has become much more refined than that, and these matters no longer concern him, but those who described us in this description are a group that wants to give preference to their opinion over the opinion of the majority of society."
Fahd Majrashi added: “We previously believed that the decision to allow women to drive is very difficult, not necessary, and may amount to a luxury, but after women have become an essential part of development and growth, it has become imperative for everyone to welcome this decision and any decision that gives her her right.” Especially since the Saudi girl has proven to the world, not just to our society, that she is able to reach higher levels of achievement and success as long as she is provided with a good and pure environment, and is given the confidence that she undoubtedly deserves.
Muhammad Hamdi emphasized that what is being raised about Saudi youth and the negative image that is raised around him is a pretext to spread the disappointments of some of those who reject every positive decision against women, considering that her right is only in the home, and if we follow the achievements that the Saudi girl has finally achieved, we will all raise our heads, proud of Saudi Arabia. In all forums, she asserts that she is serious about achieving success and excellence.
Badr Khashoggi said, the Saudi youth is more aware of these malicious campaigns that are spreading on Twitter, which are false campaigns that do not reflect the image of Saudi youth, who are now dealing with women as a partner in development, until we found many young men working under the management of Saudi women and felt the extent of their superiority and ability. On giving in all forums, and Khashoggi adds: Many Saudi youth will not look back, join us forward.
And on Twitter, Abdul Majeed Al-Duwailah said: “Let the myth of the wolf and the lamb fall, despite the noses of its adherents.” There are those who support strict anti-harassment laws. Fares wrote: "Even if there were wolves, the laws and security agencies have a duty to protect everyone, otherwise there would be no need for their existence." As for Ali Al-Shehri, he wrote: “Some mistakes may occur, but we do not generalize them and make the Saudi youth as if he is different from the youth of the world.
Women also expressed their opinion, so Fatima wrote, defying the men: "Our society has proven that it will not listen to the frustrated. Follow us to the future."
Kholoud Al-Ghamdi, who is interested in women's affairs, seems optimistic and says in her tweet: "This decision will save a lot for the state economically."
Kholoud adds: “I see that the issue of fear of harassment of women has been exaggerated. There are many issues related to women’s rights that they used to threaten and threaten us with, as is happening now, but not a single incident of harassment occurred in markets and malls. These voices are loud in the media, but not on the ground, in addition to the scholarship project (sending students abroad) raising awareness in society.
Kholoud asserts that society has become ready for women to drive, and whoever opposes will change their mind once they see the results.
