In just a couple of weeks, Saudi Arabian women will get a little more civil rights and will be able to drive cars on their own. The triumph of feminism! Of course, the faces of Saudi men did not shine with delight from such news, but they tried to support their women, despite the terrible fear that shackles the whole nature.

On the occasion of the lifting of the ban on women driving cars, Shell arranged a short interview, asking local men how they feel about it. Their reaction can be described in five words: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.

A retired naval officer, musician, TV presenter, doctor and athlete expressed their opinion. The interview took place in a lamp atmosphere — the respondents sat in the passenger seat and reflected on the rights of women, while the car sped away into the distance.

After their sexist statements, men began to recall cases when their beloved women were nearby — helped and supported.

The video, which began as an excuse for a feminist revolt, ended with the fact that men unanimously came to the conclusion that women are beautiful, they always support their loved ones and help in any way they can, so why not support them at least once?

In the final, the men were brought to the projector with photos of their beloved women, and then the wives, mothers and sisters themselves sat in the driver's seats under the slogan: "Support her initiatives, just as she supports yours."
