How is being forced to wear specific clothing and being banned from certain areas for no reason other than your gender _not_ massive oppression? It's literally taking away your ability to decide for yourself as a human being.
And yes, I'm a privileged westerner, but that doesn't exactly seem relevant.
- Double_a_92 7y agoWould you rather live in a politically and financially unstable country were you are free to do whatever you want. Or were you are forced to wear specific type of clothes but society is wealthy and stable?
- Konnstann 7y agoSeeing as how the average Iranian is neither wealthy nor in a politically stable environment, I'd have to disagree with the argument as a whole. Reducing the treatment of women under Islamic law to "wearing specific clothes" is also incredibly misleading.
- quotz 7y agoTheyre not financially stable, but politically intracountrywise, they are. Theyre not diplomatically stable with the west because Saudi oil is competing with Iran oil, and Saudi pays their debts in big lobbying and massive weapon buying from the west. But socially speaking, the country is very stable. Their culture is as strong as it has always been. They really dont have any social frictions. I would say the US has big social frictions, like the massive false allegation cases where men lose their whole careers over made up stuff...
