Not a fair comparison. Iranian women never agreed to the hijab law and truckers were perfectly fine with the law against blocking bridges, until they weren't.

- ars 4y agoNeither one of your assertions is true. Most Iranian women (and Muslim women in general) support the hijab law. Not all do of course, but to claim that women are opposed to this is not true. And of course there are those who support wearing a hijab, but oppose the penalty. And what makes you think truckers were OK with a law banning protests that block a bridge? I suspect truckers have never been OK with a law limiting their protests, it just never came up before.
- pupppet 4y agoSo Iranian women voted in the govt who implemented the hijab law?
- selimthegrim 4y agoMost Muslim countries do not have a hijab law
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoBecause when the protesters weren't the truckers, the truckers would be the ones being blocked by the protests. So, yeah, I strongly suspect that the truckers were fine with the law banning protests that blocked the bridge, until they were themselves the protesters.
