If you support the women protesting the clothing protocol of Iran

What do you think of the direct opposite happening in white countries? Where the protocol is counter to said country?

[quote]Hundreds of Danes rallied in Copenhagen on Wednesday in protest at a new ban on the wearing of face veils in public, accusing the government of infringing women’s right to dress as they choose.

Fines will range from 1,000 Danish krone (£120) for a first offence to 10,000 krone for a fourth.[/quote]

[quote] The conflict over one woman’s choice to cover her head comes in the wake of controversy surrounding an amendment passed by the French Senate last month that would ban girls under 18 from wearing the hijab in public. As part of a proposed “anti-separatism” bill, it was presented alongside amendments that would also prevent mothers from wearing hijabs on their children’s school trips and would ban the “burkini,” a full-body swimsuit.

[b]Protests[/b] have happened there. [b]Women's rights have been violated[/b]. [b]Women[/b] are sad there too.

It isn't just white nations only, too. India and China are some popular countries involved in this clear religious/secular oppression.

This culture of favoritism can be demonstrated by people here even on this site having more posts or comments strongly dedicated to Iran right now but have no similar women's rights posts and comments for other women in France, India, Denmark, China, Switzerland and any others participating in barring women from freedom there.

So if you have a greater passion and frustration right now about women's rights for Iran than you did for the opposite, why?

What is it [b]really[/b] about? Do women matter? Or do women have to do something to matter? 🤨

I feel like both restrict people's rights. People should be able to wear what they want. The toxic extremism on one side leads to an extreme push back from the other side. The latter enjoys some favoritism bc it's pushing back against the toxic manifestation of stupid beliefs and preventing them from taking root in their own countries, but it's at the expense of people's overall well being and liberty to truly be free and wear what they want.

Not only am I calling out this clear favoritism, I am addressing how it wasn't ever about women. Because some women are "stupid" or follow "stupid beliefs" according that and not only do many others believe this specious reasoning, but this is what has impacted how much they matter to others. Because we all know stupid people and intelligent people aren't the same.

Know that subversion and imperialism will continue so long as this supremacist sentiment is harbored. It's been a long tactic to dehumanize others and belittle their belief to justify their demise.

And I would love for anyone who looks down on another set of beliefs to justify and substantiate such sentiment.
