Similarities- we're all human - all the same apparatus...
Differences:
Women in Saudi cannot drive
Women in Saudi are not allowed to travel anywhere without a man
Women in Saudi cannot get out of the country without the permission of their father or husband
Women in Saudi must wear the chador/hijab/jilbeb
Women in Saudi are watched by the dress-code police and punished if found to be "undressed"
As a NYC woman (or any other) if you travel to Saudi you must bring proper dress and wear it or you will be deplaned by the flight crew....
EDIT - just wanted to point out to Katiana that Dubai is in the United Arab Emirates while Saudi Arabia is a different country. Dubai also has 85% foreign population... She ran... lol...

In Saudi Arabia the women have lesser rights than those in America. However Saudi Arabian women are much more pleasant to be around. All my friends from other countries have nothing good to say about American women. American women are rude and the lowest form of life in many ways. This is not just my opinion. Even American guys hate American women. I just am more outspoken about it LOL.

Put very simply:
Women in New York City can and do have the right to be Women, whereas the "Female" population of Saudi Arabia are little more than a gender (Women) by Male decree! Does that make sense?

A woman from Soudi Arabia wear almost the same cloth as men. They wear the same kind of all covering cloth the King of Saudi Arabia wore when he went to meet the Queen of england. The quality and color of the fabrics are different. In general, men and women wear white/black dress respectively so that they can be easily differentiated while wearing the same stuff.
A woman from NYC is made to dress differently than the men from NYC. She will be made fun of, if she attempt to dress like a man. There is no gender equality in basic stuff like clothing in NYC.
