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 hate any attempts to regulate a woman's choice to wear what she chooses. However, these are not moral equivalents. They are to do with the secularist constitutions of democratic western states which are meant to promote religious plurality and prevent the exploitation and coercion of children. The abuses is Iran are purely and simply authoritarian measures by a theocratic dictatorship.

If you disagree with the paragraph above which carbon copied your structure, you most likely see the problem I'm addressing. They're all one and the same.... and one can try to decorate the side of their liking to look better. You just happen to be against Iran's authoritarianism and attack Iran for that. If you don't agree with my parody of your paragraph, why do you work to put the same oppression of nations just like Iran in good light, then?

You either have a problem with authoritarianism or you don't. My entire point was to highlight this double standard of how people attack Iran's image for doing the [b]same thing[/b] as other nations...

@Iwantyourhotwife There is a very clear difference in legitimacy between a government selected in a free and open election and one which has seized power at gunpoint during a revolution and considers itself accountable only to god. I would much rather France and other states did not confront their citizens on questions of dress, but they do so for very different reasons to Iran.

@SunshineGirl you have spoken and chosen. And I hope perhaps one day, you wouldn't feel uncomfortable believing that Iran and France confront their citizens on questions of dress for different reasons but they do so because they are authoritarian states that do not care about their women's choice but the enforcement of their dressing protocols. I also advise against dismissing the legitimacy of Iran unless you dismiss the legitimacy of [b]all[/b] states like Iran. This exclusion of Iran is not about righteousness but an apparently different calling :/

@Iwantyourhotwife Right, so if all government authority were dismissed as being equally authoritarian and illegitimate, where do you think that would leave us on the question of women being able to dress as they wish?
Iwantyourhotwife · 22-25
@SunshineGirl good question. I think that dismissing government authority leads to chaos. During chaos, there is no protection of women's rights and their ability to dress as they please, much like how there is a loss of protection for anything during chaos. Chaos should be avoided at all costs because it leaves the vulnerable in even more incredible weakness.

How would you suggest changes should be brought about in authoritarian regimes?
