    I’m not defending maga, or some of the shit that’s gone down prior in our long and sometimes sordid history. Everyone has better healthcare, undisputed. But most of my commentary here and in RL comes from this. I believe, in any place, relationship, government where women do not have the legal equality and freedom of men, I see it as evil. I include my own government and country in that estimation. Secular or religious, that context matters not at all, to me. That’s not fed by propaganda. If a woman chooses a certain life, cool. If it’s thrust upon her by circumstance, that’s different.

    I am curious. How much of the story of Melina Asadi’s death and such was real and how much was propaganda? I followed those stories.

      the issue here is that your western brainwashing makes you completely unable to contend with two facts; 1. that women in iran are equal to men, and that equality looks different from one culture to another, and 2. you’re basing your opinions off of propaganda and brainwashing while being so propagandized that you believe you’re coming from some place of objective observation. you are the type of person who is almost not worth talking to, frankly. even your question at the end, genuinely ask yourself, how true do you really think the narrative behind this thing that happened in a country thousands of miles away that was plastered all over your tv as an excuse to invade and bomb people is? your tv will show you a video of a black man getting choked to death by a cop and say “maybe it was a drug overdose we don’t know”. you think they’re telling you the truth about anything else in any other country? you must be smarter than that.
