Before anyone starts a flame war, I want to remind you that HN guidelines require you to either respect other people's culture and religion or keep quiet.

- joxel 4y agoThis entire comment is made up, just like the shit they’re forcing on these women.
- dqpb 4y agoSays the person whose been on HN for less than two months. Welcome! If you don't believe me, go ahead and say something reasonable about religion and see where it gets you.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoI've said a bunch of reasonable things about religion, and it didn't get me banned. Occasionally downvoted, never flagged that I recall. I suspect that the issue may be with your definition of "reasonable".
- Gare 4y agoCan you point to where, because I don't see it in guidelines.
- dqpb 4y agoI have directly experienced censorship and harassment by @dang over excessively reasonable critiques of religion. I would link to it, but I've been warned that doing so can get me banned.

- nurettin 4y agoNot really, but the HN moderator might find the comment "boring". Usually it is loosely based on the guidelines, but sometimes it is just subjective. Much like the headscarf issues in the middle east.
- rektide 4y agoWhat you propose- either accepting or being quiet- is the least hackerly perspective I have ever heard. This is the most contrary to open society & open debate bit I've heard on HN in a long while and it deserves no respect & deserves clamboring as a threat to civil society. Booo!! Hackers debate & discuss, have opinions. We can appreciate cultures & diversity without agreeing to authoritarian enforced mandates, and we dont have to be quiet when we find behaviors & authority to be disgraceful & out of line. Narrowing down to the topic level, from your gross discharacterization, he hijab specifically is controversial & I think many opinions are due. Even within Iran there is a huge & wide part of the society going on strike & which has been loudly protesting this & other legal impositions as gross & unbefitting. To say that this is the culture denies the population & oppressed any voice. That seems vulgar & inappropriate. The legal imposition of the hijab is not an old culture. It legally began in April 1983. But it was broadly unenforced for a while until the creation of the morality police, for which this was a primary enforcement concern. This was not a longstanding bit of culture, to force everyone to behave this way.
- dqpb 4y agoThank you for expressing exactly how I feel.
