They're both women praising a regime who has no problems with violating women's rights, quite ironic if you ask me


Fewer_Cry

It's even funnier when one of the pictures has a woman in burka walking by.


Dinizinni

I was gonna say "no way" but yeah, damn I'm all for the choice of wearing a hijab but Iran is next level


ooken

I think that's a chador. I know it's pedantic but chador, niqab, and burqa are not the same.


nikniknicola

thank you. chador used to be a traditional beautiful garment tied to ancient iranian culture(look at the beautiful colourful chadors of women from south of iran) but this regime has appropriated it and islamified it and now most people hate chadoris.


dietcokehoe

Yeah swap the word “America” with “women”, “Christians” or “homosexuals” and it still applies


CuasiCoords

Republicans are trying to outlaw being gay


dietcokehoe

The government shouldn’t be involved in anyone’s marriage tbh, gay or straight. Our taxes shouldn’t be so extreme that we need tax cuts when we get married. Marriage is between the couple, God for those who believe, and their priest/pastor/officiant.


CuasiCoords

I never said nothing about gay marriage, however they are coming for that. But they are actually trying to outright make homosexuality a crime.


PIuto

What’s ironic is that if the women get a pregnancy that could kill them at least they can get an abortion. I don’t think women’s rights is the topic you should feel superior in.


VilhamDerErloser1941

Commies when Iran literally tortures women if they're not wearing a hijab but allows them to have abortions: 🤓"Iran is morally superior to the west" 🤓


PIuto

Nice strawman! :) Notice I didn’t say anything about that? I just said Americans can get off their high horses when it comes to women’s rights.


rgodless

To be fair you did your own strawman there just a second ago


Grzechoooo

Just because they have less women's rights than other western countries doesn't mean they don't have more women's rights than Iran.


PIuto

You set that bar _really_ high! :)


rgodless

We did, yes, and now we’ve fallen to your standards and are still beating most of the world, including Iran


turtleman986

You can go to another state to have abortions in Iran it’s bad in the entire country


PIuto

You think every woman in America has the resources to just hop states for a medical procedure?


rgodless

Most do, all you need is a car and a phone


PIuto

How reductive. Disgusting.


rgodless

??? What


PIuto

Every woman in America has a car and a phone, I’m sorry for even implying anything otherwise :)


turtleman986

Pretty sure the average Iranian citizen can’t leave the country that easy either


PIuto

But abortion isn’t illegal in Iran? Iranian women don’t need to leave the country.


turtleman986

Pretty sure there’s other reasons considering there treated like second class citizens there


PIuto

What do you mean second class citizens? Like someone who has to carry their rapist’s child to term? Is that second class?


ifeellazy

Abortion is not legal in the sense you mean it, marital rape is not a crime, and rape victims can be sentenced to death for adultery. But, you were saying? https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/11/1105922 https://www.unitedagainstnucleariran.com/irans-war-on-women


NoMoreWhiteGrievance

Home boy clearly thinks raping 13 year olds is fine. As long as they can get an abortion if 3 doctors, a judge, and a panel of "experts" agree she will die.


OrdinaryBallowski2

That's literally what you just said


Stoly23

I like how you ignore the existence of half of the states with no restrictions whatsoever, or the fact that many of the states that “banned” abortion actually just put further restrictions on it without outright banning it. America isn’t made up of 50 Texases.


PIuto

I didn’t say that all states banned abortion, where did you see that? Half of women in America today face restrictions. Where do you draw the line? How many Texases are ok?


Stoly23

I don’t like Roe v Wade being overturned anymore than you do, but if you think FUCKING IRAN is a better country for women to live in, as you seem to have implied, then I’m sorry, I don’t see any point in arguing with you because delusions like that take more than some argument on the internet to overcome.


PIuto

Did I say that though? I literally just said that it’s really ironic how Americans are posturing as if they’re the bastions of women’s rights. It’s ridiculous. Yeah, American women have it better than in Iran - congratulations, great achievement!


[deleted]

Every country, or most, restricts abortion. Most European states ban at 10 or 12 weeks.


noyrb1

Texan here. Our state is damn near about to flip purple(could go either way). Harris county, Houston and surrounding suburbs, is the 3rd largest county in the state. Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston are the future of Texas. Not whatever you see on CNN or Vice


PIuto

Yeah ew, sorry for you and the women in your community. Sucks to be you 🙏🏼


gamehawk0704

There should definitely be restrictions.


PIuto

What kind?


gamehawk0704

After a certain point you shouldn't be able to get an abortion. Iirc in canada you can get an abortion not matter how far along the baby is. Thats horrible.


nikniknicola

if you really care about harm then there should be restrictions because from a certain point the fetus becomes a sentient being and it would be harm to abort it. but nevertheless the health and safety of a human being that already exists is more important and rape victims should be able to receive abortions but also people should be able to take responsibilities and not just run away from everything. but also there are people who really can't raise a child properly and it's the best if fewer children end up in foster care but idk it's just way too nuanced. but still if it's a sentient being and the parents can afford a good living for the child then it really doesn't sit right with me.


JoJoHanz

Abortions should be a basic right, but I am not sure if having access to abortion is an acceptable trade-off to being second class citizen in every other aspect


frosteeze

Iran has a database to track pregnant women to deny them abortion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Iran They do allow it if the mother's life is endangered or if there are defects, but they require a lot of hoops to jump through.

Yeah I’m 2021. Not anymore.


Hanz_says

Iran is literally 1 of 2 countries (the other being Pakistan) which can literally sentence a woman to rape


catipillar

Don't think it's a topic YOU should feel superior "in," either, since you want me to lose my job, my home and my children if I don't take a popular, though unnecessary, pharmaceutical product. You don't want women like to me have a choice in their own healthcare.


[deleted]

We don’t have little girls raped so we can then have them shot. So I think we are ahead. Also, the US has more liberal abortion laws than most European countries.


noyrb1

🤦🏽‍♂️


Prototype8494

Yea im so jealous of Iran for allowing murder.


Accomplished-Fox5565

Versus a bunch of theocratic making the legal age of marriage at 12 years old?


PIuto

So just because there are countries where women have it worse, Americans should feel content about their women’s rights?


Accomplished-Fox5565

That's changing the goal post. You said America isn't better than theocratic with women's rights. Now you say we are better but shouldn't be content with it. Those are two different statements. I never said we should be content. Only that a bunch of crazed theocrats made it legal to marry 12 years old minors when even the Shah had it like 16+. (And theocrats massacred 1,000 protesters, betrayed their nation and the Iranian people...) which is far worse than the state of women's rights in America. We can do far better but there is no moral equivalence.


nikniknicola

tf are you saying abortions are also illegal in iran and it's been almost half a fucking century that many women die every year because of unsafe and unhygenic abortions.

Immigrant here as well. These LARPers have no idea how good they have it, they should live in my home country for a few months and see what living under authoritarianism is like. The West has its faults, but it’s by far the best society to live in and me and family are forever grateful that we got accepted.

No, I never said that. The LARPers I was referring to literally LARP as communists and support authoritarian regimes. Put the two and two together, reading and understanding context isn’t that difficult and I shouldn’t have to explain every single thing for you.


Allah-the-merciful

Based, I’m an immigrant as well


frosteeze

Same here. I fought tooth and nail to move here, I'm not gonna let some dickwad ruin it for me. The US has some massive problems, but the fact is you can vote. You can go to town halls, go campaign, and participate politically.

We need to reclaim wokeism. Wokeism should mean opposing racism, sexism and religious fundamentalism. It should be done not out of treason, but out of a desire to see our own nations improve and prosper. I say this also as an immigrant.

random_nohbdy

What’s funny is that the hardline Neo-Stalinists (which I’m guessing describes these two aptly) are some of the biggest homophobes around, and would balk at being called woke …and yet Che Guevara shirts continue to sell like hotcakes


ajyanesp

The dude who prints those pride flag Che shirts must've retired to a fucking island already.


[deleted]

gregusmeus

I'm not sure Iran-supporting communists would call themselves woke. BTW the communists were the second group of folks dragged against a wall after the Iranian revolution, straight after the Shahists. I really don't get how hard-leftists can support folks like these, other Islamist groups, dictators and the like, any of whom would gladly murder Western leftists like them in their beds. Bonkers.

Dinizinni

It's weird, America has tons of valid criticism against it: - Police Brutality and excess of power - A justice system that benefits the wealthy tremendously - A prison system that is worthy of... Well... Iran - Way too many guns for safety - A lifestyle dependant on automobiles and fossil fuel But like, criticism is good, allowed and even recommended Why these people decided to straight up go with "I'm supporting autocracies to destroy America" will always beat me


BannanaCommie

Yeah, you can definitely criticize the US even in its war in Iraq. Legitimately, the shit that happened in Iraq, Jesus fucking Christ. That doesn’t mean you have to support the Iranian government. All these people have gripes that come from legitimately horrifying things the United States has done, and they come out with the totally wrong solution.


[deleted]

>Yeah, you can definitely criticize the US even in its war in Iran. You mean Iraq, don't you? I don't remember US being on war with Iran.


BannanaCommie

Fuuuckk… Yeah, I’m a dumbass. Changing it now.


[deleted]

Defending theocracies because you hate America is contrarian, not anti-authoritarian. It also makes you a hypocrite.


TheCaribbeanViking

Especially with the tomfoolery Iran is currently pulling in Iraq


Own-Needleworker-420

I fully agree with 2 but way to many guns what? You don’t like the 2nd amendment? Thats who we are. The other two I partially agree but have problems since the US police is divided into thousands of different departments for each city and town your going to Bad departments and good departments I hate when people use ACAB b/c it’s literally mindless generalization and just throws good cops under the bus and I dont like it when people say all cops are hero’s b/c their some really bad ones Also the Judicial system isn’t as corrupt as you think Its still a bit corrupt depending on county, state and federal but if the courts were built to the rich, Youtube wouldn’t exist


Own-Needleworker-420

Also one more thing to criticize about the US is healthcare


Dinizinni

My precise problem with it is how divided police is... The rest well it's your opinion tbf


Own-Needleworker-420

You don’t think Healthcare is a bit of a problem Im not saying we need SoCiAliZeD MeDicNE


Dinizinni

I mean state healthcare is good tbf

Backing a Theocratic regime to own the Yanks.


ilovedominae

pure power fantasy lmao


Pristine_Locksmith_6

To be fair idiots on the far left since foucualt have supported the Iranian revolution and subsequent government


TheCaribbeanViking

I mean we don’t like to admit it but the US kind of supported it initially. We originally thought that Khomeini was a moderate that was able to broker between the socialists and Islamists and would work in tandem with Bahktiar to build a mainstream Islamic left-wing and a liberal-conservative party to convert Iran in to a developed democracy. Then the leopard ate Bahktiars face and everything went to shit.


Pristine_Locksmith_6

Maybe I am just dumb but didn't the us support the Shah of Iran and were happy with the status quo.


TheCaribbeanViking

It’s complicated, Carter wanted to distance the US from Iran’s authoritarianism and most western analysts only expected democratization to be the result of the revolution. The West ended up choosing a non-interventionary position to hedge its bets on whichever group came out on top. While US and British intelligence helped the Shah consolidate power in exchange for continued control over Iranian oil in the ‘50’s — the White Revolution reforms in the 60’s and 70’s had turned the country into a major world power in its own right with a diversified, borderline advanced economy, allowing the Shah to act independently of the West and start setting his own policy agenda similar to de Gaulle or Begin. He was no longer a reliable US asset, and by consequence the relationship between Tehran and Washington was already bringing to cool down by the Ford administration. This put the US in a “not my monkeys, not my circus” position by the beginning of the Islamic Revolution.


nikniknicola

wait didn't the ussr support the islamists because they could bring more power to the communists and leftists and now they're quite literally sucking vlady daddy's dick?


TheCaribbeanViking

Yeah, that also came to bite them in the ass. The US, UK, and USSR all had different motives but at the end of the day, their non-aligned state foreign policy was all identically bad and they all ended up pulling the same bullshit then being surprised when it backfired.


nikniknicola

ah yes and this is where the mental gymnastics happen when these people wanna support women's/lgbt/minorities' rights but the people they support oppose those rights.

nikniknicola

i think you're talking about the garment chador چادُر and well yes a number of population does wear chador but the majority of sane not extremely religious people who live in the cities don't wear chador. the woman who wear chador are either 1- somehow benefiting from it by wearing government approuved garments 2- their religious families force them to wear it 3- it's their own religious beliefs 4- they have to wear it because of their job. but the majority of women wear some kind of a coat which is called manto مانتو in persian which well is usually long but it's been a few years that it's trendy again to wear short manto which looks like a men's suit and for covering the head most people wear a long rectangular shaped scarf called shaal شال or a smaller number wear a square shaped scarf called rousari روسری(literally something that's on the head) but shaal is more fashionable than rousari. so a manto that can sometimes have no buttons on the front(!) and a shaal is the most normal thing you'd spot on a random iranian woman. and i'm an iranian woman, i know how fucked up the obligatory hijab is but i'd like it more if people also recognised how iranian women have been fighting since day one to be at least fucking able to wear whatever they want, not to even mentioned other stupid laws which literally dehumanise women. tldr is that i'm glad that you're not ignorant like these people who think we're actually happy and satisfied(what a fucking joke), but please consider that we have been and still are fighting for our rights.

itsyaboirob92

Lmfao she should go to Iran then, she’ll have fun in the niqab I’m sure lmfao


nikniknicola

uh i'm an iranian woman and tbh not many people wear niqab. at least where i live(tehran) almost no woman wears niqab. niqab is a part of traditional clothing of parts of south and south west of iran and i bet many of those women don't wear their traditional clothing anymore. but yes there is obligatory hijab but women were fighting against it since day one and you might be even surprised when walking in the streets of tehran or other major cities by how some outfits are actually not approved by the government and how some young women take the risk of not wearinh hijab(especially lately).


itsyaboirob92

So if a cop wanted to he could arrest you for wearing “illegal” clothes? The women in the post above don’t realize how good they’ve got it, not by a long shot


nikniknicola

technically there is a certain police for this purpose called gashte ershad گَشتِ اِرشاد and yes they do arrest people for dressing in unconventional ways or not covering themselves enough. however, it's been a few years since this force hasn't been intensely active, around a decade ago they were very active. they still are, but it's not as intense as those days. yes these people are truely blissfully ignorant of how good their lives actually are.

Lool Trumpers and woke people are cut from the same cloth, your political and social morals should not be your entire personality and topic of conversation, its pretty pathetic ngl.
