What 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.
