Are Women Allowed to Drive?

Q: Are women allowed to drive?
A: Women are not allowed to drive in Islam. I would give you the verse from the Qur’an but I cannot find it.  The reason is because driving involves playing with a stick, and that can lead to fornication.  There is also the possibility that a virgin might not know how to handle the stick and lose her virginity.
Please note that whilst this is satire, there are actual Saudi fatawa against women driving giving reasons like them losing their virginity to damaging their ovaries to getting raped.  I cannot keep up with actual, stupid fatawa.
