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? 🤨

You make it sound like lot of people are taking action that helps women in Iran.

I don't see that.

There is no favoritism.

@Miram I am not understanding what you mean. What actions are you referring to?

@Iwantyourhotwife

You understand perfectly what I mean. My response is not confusing.
Iwantyourhotwife · 22-25
@Miram what's not clear to me is if you are saying that since the actions being taken do not help, there can be no favoritism or if you're saying there is simply no difference in the outcry and support offered to Iranian protesters as opposed to other women protesting similar rights violations elsewhere.

I hope I explained my confusion clearly

There are no actions being taken to help. It is mostly just internet talk. Most people talk about what is most trendy. They will forget about it in few weeks.

That aside, it is not "women being sad". It is much more than just woman issue.

The way you worded this shows you think it is some sort of a competition, it shouldn't be.

You can care about both yet give these problems time right now instead of pointing elsewhere, and find out what you can do to help these women everywhere especially that they are part of the community you identify with.

People like me and like others shouldn't be just talking points in internet discussions.

This whole thing makes me untrusting of most here.

@Miram ohhhh, I see. I agree entirely that it's primarily just internet talk and news. My entire point was to not make it a competition and I hopefully didn't word it as such 😅

The aim was show the difference taking place online towards women having sanctuary from oppression and call into reason the general underlying principles that people operate on when talking about these things, in hopes it incites reflection and care for [b]both[/b].

With respect to actual action taking place, I really see no action taking place, and I agree with you. The attention being drawn towards other issues is not intended to diminish from the severity of or entirety of the problem at hand. But rather a hopeful opportunity to show how this matter does not end just this once and that the reason nothing happens is because of this stupid oppressiom olympics rather than a true interest to make change.

Or at least that's why I think nothing happens for this issue .-.
Perhaps I am wrong

@Iwantyourhotwife

You're part of the problem. You don't care either.
Iwantyourhotwife · 22-25
@Miram perhaps I am. But maybe there is room for change

Edit: And I was rereading this and realized that you asserted I do not care. Me not being to help doesn't impact how much I care or that I would. This was not true
