"We are doing this to protect you from the prying eyes of men, they told us. You deserve to be treated like a queen." In the essay, "Driving My Own Destiny",** Manal al-Sharif **claims that all her life she has been told lies. She has been a subject to over-protective culture induced by the government of her country. She tells that the government banned women from the rights of driving and getting admission into engineering schools or sports. The government did not even allow women to have identity cards with their pictures on them, so obviously they cannot leave the country. She says that the government claimed that they were doing all of this to protect women from men and for their own good and she calls this a lie.
