RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Female bank employees are being partitioned away from their male colleagues in their workplaces under new rules enforcing Saudi segregation of the sexes, a move women say is squeezing them out of the few business realms where they have been gaining more rights.

In one case, a woman banker reported to work only to be told she would no longer be working at her usual place alongside her male colleagues. Her office has been relocated to a women-only suite, set up on the ground floor so she and other female bankers won't mix with men taking the elevators to higher floors.

When does the US invade to make the Woman equal citizens like we did for Iraq?

What is it with the middle east?! Are the men that weak-minded and willed they can't interact with women as fellow HUMANS??

I think this practice of their religion emphasizes the negative aspect of males within.

It is very troubling that there is no indication of a new law or directive from the government dealing with this situation.
The lack of information and finding out the "new rules" by surprise is a very bad precedent.
Most likely some will try to adjust some will try legal means to reverse it,
some will change careers or stop working entirely and some will try to emigrate.
