I've not checked the legitimacy of the photo, but the premise is important to note
From 1979, it took 4 years.

In my country there's a guy running for president who wants to revoke women's right to vote. He is not super popular in the pools, but for some mad reason both my sisters support him.
edit: I'm keeping the typo
What is the mad reasoning? I'm curious.
"aww, but he is a nice leopard! So we'll spoke, so handsome. He wouldn't eat my face"
one doesn't believe he will actually do it, the other one, idk
At a guess... propaganda?
not super popular in the pools
Now I'm imagining old ladies in swim caps treading water and talking smack
I'm keeping the typo just because your comment made me laugh, thanks, I needed it
The current secretary of defense of the US just made a post arguing for revoking women's right to vote, among other things. The supposed leader of 'the free world'. And the Europeans still call Trump daddy.
We'll probably be looking at pictures of US women in a couple of decades and wondering how it could turn into a shit hole.
because the united snake and the British destroyed it's democracy
But mostly the Americans
The entire thing started because Iran wanted to wrestle control of their oil back from British Petroleum. The British convinced the US that Iran was going to join forces with Russia.
Pretty sure the Dutch were in that too

Don't forget that August 28th is women's equality day, the day that the nineteenth amendment was certified, giving women the right to vote.
Considering people don't turn out to vote anyways; they should move it to October 28th to remind people that it wasn't until 1974 women were allowed to get bank accounts without their husband/father thanks to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.
I'd like to see how many women who say they're fine losing their right to vote would also be okay with not having their own bank account.

Ok, but does anybody really think that women's rights can't get rolled back under a religious autocracy?
Right women?
Democrats
If you asked 20 years ago, you would have gotten totally different answers.
No. The person in the tweet just wanted to post a cliché "women in 1970s Iran" picture, and needed a caption to go with it.
Religious doctrination is the strongest influence towards radical acceptance of certain principles. Too bad if God was real he would hate you pieces of shits.
Have you heard of a place called Senegal? They didn't even need fundamentalist psychopaths. They just had the IMF rewrite their laws after a bad loan and now women carry buckets of water on their heads for miles instead of attending university. (Haven't read up on it in 20 years, could be out of date)
Are they required to do so by law?
No need to. I have national Geographics from that time showing this exact type of image.
Iran was a more progressive place in the seventies.

Unfortunate that it was the pro USA party that wanted to get rid of women's rights. Unfortunate that USA has had a habit of overthrowing governments that want good things for their people. Unfortunate that social media nowadays makes it a lot cheaper to manipulate voters towards right policies, and this is happening everywhere. Fucking sucks.
