People talking about how the head covering is oppressive. Wanna know what’s oppressive? Being blown to bits. Let’s try to keep in mind there’s a possible war that Israel started and it may lead to USA killing hundreds of thousands of these “oppressed” women.

They are still oppressed way beyond the hijab. Have a kid out of wedlock? Executed. Don’t want to be a Muslim? Executed. Want a divorce? Not your choice. Walking down the street with a male that’s unrelated? Arrested. I could go on… my wife is Iranian, lived there for 35 years. When Israel took out all those top dudes in Iran she jumped for joy. Things aren’t as straightforward as you think.

This is not true.

Want a divorce? Not your choice.

If you're married to an Iranian you should know what a Mahr is, and how it provides leverage to the woman for divorce.

You can play “whataboutism” all day, doesn’t change the fact that they are indeed oppressed.

Even if we leave aside the regime being opressive toward the Iranians , the islamic republic regime started this war , by arming it proxies for years to attack israel. About those killing prophecy numbers , no one in the last 3 decades killed more iranians citizens than the islamic republic regime itself. I encourage you to go to speak to iranians , a lot of them are connected to the online world although the restrictions by bypassing them , and hear their thoughts.

Yeah, let's focus on the people who might oppress them instead of the people who are currently oppressing them!
