In the islamically ruled Saudi kingdom, women in the workforce is frowned upon so men must fill in for all work roles. Now here comes the problem, there has been a backlash against lingerie salesman because they mingle with unrelated females.
What are the Saudis to do? let women into the workforce or continue on with the status quo and let unrelated men and women mingle in lingerie stores?

A new campaign in Saudi Arabia seeks to replace male employees of lingerie shops with women, citing the contradiction of men staffing women’s intimate stores in the conservative Islamic country.
According to the BBC, economics professor Reem Asaad from Jeddah organized the two-week boycott on her Facebook page because public protests are illegal in Saudi Arabia.
The campaign strikes at the heart of religion and women’s roles in the country. While Islamic leaders generally back the idea of women-only lingerie stores, the boycott exposes their reluctance to allow women to work outside the home.
