A debate about the right of women in Saudi Arabia to drive reignited over the weekend after reports that two women were fighting a repressive policy banning them from getting behind the wheel.

Local media reported that two women in the Consultative Assembly of Saudi Arabia, a body also known as the Shura Council that can propose laws to the country’s monarchy, asked to change an article in the country’s traffic code to state: “the right to a driver’s license is granted for men and women.”

By Monday morning, the hashtag #ShuraDebatingWomen’sDriving ( # الشوري_يناقش_قياده_المراه) was the top-trending topic on Twitter in Saudi Arabia, Vocativ discovered.

But most weren’t talking about the need for women to drive. Instead, the bulk of commentators—including women—declared there are bigger problems to focus on. “There are issues related to women that are more important than the bullshit of driving,” someone tweeted. One Twitter user listed those issues as housing, health, education and unemployment. “They forgot that the woman isn’t thinking about driving because she spends more of her time at home,” a Saudi user wrote. According to Bloomberg, women account for only 16.4 percent of the Saudis who have jobs. More than 60 percent of those unemployed in the country are women, Bloomberg reported.

Others, however, said the debate created a fruitful discussion. Being able to drive is a necessity of life, and is “absolutely not a luxury,” someone tweeted. Others complained about the economic cost of not being able to get behind the wheel. “I don’t want my salary to be spent on a driver or a foreigner. We are sick of it,” a woman posted. Another woman wondered “why it takes a century to carry out a project that could develop Saudi while in other countries it takes the blink of an eye.”

A ban on women drivers has remained in place despite campaigns in recent years against it. One major effort was in October 2013, when dozens of women drove—and documented it—as part of a protest.

According to Human Rights Watch, authorities in December 2014 arrested two Saudi women for driving to the country’s border with the United Arab Emirates. They were held for 73 days before being released without charge.

The rights organization notes that the issue is just one among a slew of discriminatory policies women face in Saudi Arabia. Under a system of required male guardianship, women are barred from obtaining a passport, marrying, travelling or attending college without a man’s approval. They also need their guardian’s approval to marry and even, in some cases, to get medical procedures, Human Rights Watch says.
