[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Can someone explain to me like I’m five why some Americans are protesting for the regime and the Ayatollah? I see these videos and pictures of what mostly look like white liberal women who seem to be protesting on behalf of the regime and it is baffling to me. Do they know anything about life under the Ayatollah? I know a ton of Iranians and I don’t know a single one who supports the regime. It is a brutal, cruel regime. [/quote]

Life under Iran is actually  better than in the U.S. . Free healthcare, free college,  low crime, no school shootings, . The same rules Israel is crying about exists for their friends Saudi Arabia.

Ending the Iranian regime will mean blowing up one of the best developed ME countries to hell just like Libya  and who the hell wants 40m Iranian refugees in Moscow or on boat to Berlin of all of a sudden?

We have to realize humbly that America and Israel are not on the right side here and we have chaos agents who want WW3. China and Russia are sadly acting like adults here [/quote]

This is really unbelievable. You really think life for women is better in Iran than in the United States? Maybe if you are a man who likes subjugating women.

In Iran women:

Must be fully covered in black from head to toe with only their face showing or can face up to 74 lashes since flogging is legal in Iran. 
Are not able to travel without the consent of their husbands.
Men are able to divorce a woman while woman have to prove a hardship to get a divorce
Men get custody of the children in a divorce.

Universities often bar women from nearly 80 different majors, particularly in engineering, computer science, and certain sciences, claiming these fields are "unsuitable" for women’s nature. 
Major universities have installed facial recognition software at entrance gates. If a student is not wearing her hijab "correctly," the system identifies her and automatically blocks her student ID card, preventing her from entering campus. She is then flagged and can be picked up by one of the white vans of the morality police.

If a woman commits adultery the punishment is death by stoning. Specifically a woman is buried in a pit up to her chest (men are buried to the waist). The stones used must not be so large as to kill the person in one or two blows, but not so small that they cannot be called stones. This is intended to ensure a slow, painful death.
In court hearings a woman's testimony is only worth HALF of a mans.
The man is officially by law head of the household and obedience by the wife is mandated. A man can forbid his wife from leaving the house and is allowed to use up to moderate physical force to get his wife to comply including if the woman doesn't want to be intimate. There is no law against spousal rape.

Additionally for all Iranians
Drinking alcohol can lead to 99 lashes
Having intimate relations without being married can lead to lashings 
Gay men who have intimate relations receive the death penalty. 
LGBTQ+ supporters can be sentenced to death on charges of "spreading corruption on earth".

The PP who wrote what you are responding to doesn’t consider women as fully human, so is fine with how they are treated under the current Iranian government. [/quote]
