I've not checked the legitimacy of the photo, but the premise is important to note

Uh huh.

How about you just stop defenfing the regimd if beatings and burhkas?

Seriously. Women's rights were improving and evolving until the revelution, getting better by leaps and bounds

But yknow power hungry politicians use the guise of if religion to rule, control and destroy.

But go ahead. Tell me how great it is now. I wtched these events unfold. Most in this thread weren't even alive then.

And yep it wathe pro usa crew that backed the revelution. Thst doesn't affect what was happening in eonebs rights. The zealots were pissed about that and wanted if stopped. They stopped it.

So stop with the thinly veiled Iranian regime support.

How about you work on your reading comprehension? Oh you were there, with the 'burkhas'?! Anyone who knows anything about Iran knows that burkhas are not a common thing in Iran, so how about you cut the crap? So the rights of women were 'evolving' by 'leaps and bounds' huh? Does that include the 37% literacy rate for women at the time of the revolution? Improvement by leaps and bounds better describes the current close to 90% rate I'd say, or perhaps the 60% of college graduates being women. Again how about you tell us where women had more rights before the revolution other than the right to show more skin? I'm all for anyone wearing anything they like, but you equate a western dress code to progress it seems. It doesn't matter if they can read or write it seems, as long as you get to see more skin.

I clearly wrote that women are fighting for their rights and are far from reaching that goal. You interpreting that as 'thinly veiled support' for the regime just exposes your thinly veiled royalist sentiment. Maybe you should ask yourself why in 2025 you are still clamoring for the return of a king? If that's the 'progress' you speak of, most people in Iran would reject it wholeheartedly.

You need to do two things

Stop drinking so much coffee

Learn to read.

Some free advice. STOP fighting people who aren't repsonsible ( meaning the average Joe), that gets you no where.

I won't be responding. Feel free to have the last word.
